Question: Where do you start your stitching?

Saltandpepper

I like to begin in the center, there is no way my finished work is off center  that way and I find framing my work easier that way.

I always start from the center or from the head - depending on the pattern.

Depends what I am stitching. If it’s a Heaven and earth cross stitch then I start at the top left and if a kit or a pattern then I start in the middle

For me it depends on the design, really. I like to start with the colors closest to the fabric color so if I have to make a float with contrasting thread it doesnt show through that easily.

Its an interesting thread! I prefer to start in the middle to make sure Im not out of canvas somewhere:) But starting in the top left corner (to keep the finished stiches as clean as possible) is a great option too.

Yo comienzo en la parte superior en el centro y dependiendo del gráfico voy a izquierda o derecha

I usually start in the middle of the pattern unless I dont feel like cutting fabric then I start top right corner

It depends on the design for me also.  I also use a frame where the finished side is rolled to the inside of the frame so it is not exposed to getting soiled.  I use dowl rods to get the different widths for my patterns.  I initially bought a frame in order to get the side pieces but now I can replace the rods with the dowl rods and make a frame up to 36 inches wide in order to sew without getting creases or raised areas in my patterns from having to change the rod positioning.  I simply roll it head to toe and never have to move it from side to side

I either start in the centre or left hand corner.

depends of the fabric, the chart and the colors
