how to fasten your stitching?

Honestly, it depends on your style and what kind of project you’re working on. Stitching by color means you grab all the stitches for one color across your whole pattern before moving on to the next—some folks swear it’s faster because you’re not constantly changing threads. But for me, especially with a baby distracting me every five minutes, I find stitching area-wise more satisfying. It’s like tackling one little chunk at a time, so you get to see your progress more clearly and don’t get overwhelmed by endless color changes. Plus, it feels less like a marathon and more like a series of short sprints, which fits my scattered stitching sessions better. So if you’re after pure speed and don’t mind threading and re-threading, color-wise might be your thing. But if you like steady, visible progress and less chance of losing your place, area-wise could be the way to go. Either way, as long as your stitches are looking lovely, you’re winning!
