Oh now i understand. Thank you for explaining that to me. I didnt know you could do that. Maybe i sh ...
I cannot repaint patterns myself (haven't learned it yet). So I deal with difficult patterns in my own way.
I recently finished a Stoney Creek design and they are notorious for having too many and scattered hard to find symbols, especially on grass and flowers there is a real symbol mess. My method is:
- stitch by square (10 x 10 symbols), not by color. That way you will have to change thread too often (if you use 1 needle), but otherwise you will never be lost and will see symbols a lot easier when your working area is small.
- mark symbols with colored pencils
- memorize which symbol corresponds to which color. This one may be difficult but is worth doing. There is a logic behind colors (for example in my design I had mint greens for grass, 500, 501, 502, 503 and I memorized them and when I saw there is grass I already knew the logic and stitched it all very fast no matter the scattered symbols). |
