I’ve never encountered a pattern where you have to pierce the aida in between holes during backstitching. It was difficult for me to follow the backstitch on my pattern because I stitched it on 11 ct aida. I’ll try re-doing the stitches again. Thankful that it’s only a middle sized pattern.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972654615011536873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-28535727497504805012015-02-23T12:31:38.859+00:002015-02-23T12:31:38.859+00:00Thanks for your comment.

I have to agree, the lack of back and partial stitching in HAEDs is really nice but then they have way more confetti :) Evenweave is great for partial stitches as well.

It looks amazing when it's done, but sometimes it's a real pain, lol. <br />I must say, that I recently had a project using quarter stitches and I was very happy that I stitched over 2 on 28ct. I guess that would have been very frustrating to stitch over 1 on 14ct, lol. Maybe I will find my love for backstitching, one glorious day,,, ;DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-67677368328738960622015-02-16T11:45:47.954+00:002015-02-16T11:45:47.954+00:00Thanks so much for your comment Mii.

However there have been times when I have started the back stitching in a project to get a break from the cross stitching. My last somebunny chart is a good example of that. I found back stitching the bunnies as I went along helped to keep me going with the project.Pull the other threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277548163652714845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-54371546333063087712015-02-16T10:03:28.022+00:002015-02-16T10:03:28.022+00:00Thanks for your comment.

Once you have the first stitches in it makes it much easier. I wonder if you might find back stitching more enjoyable if it didn't have the fractionals or if you tried evenweave for patterns that do.Pull the other threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277548163652714845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-862912887482135782015-02-16T10:00:42.035+00:002015-02-16T10:00:42.035+00:00Thanks for your comment.

This is a lesson I have learned the hard way from starting so many projects during the January/February Challenge, especially Margaret Sherry designs.<br />From a distance fiddly backstitching does not look too bad on aida but, as stitchers, we know it's not quite right and that bugs us.<br />Evenweave is definitely not as evil as I thought it would be and when I get to the fractionals or backstitching I'm so glad I'm not using aida! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378630021976085682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-14781033842984886812015-02-14T18:26:47.465+00:002015-02-14T18:26:47.465+00:00Great post.

The only ones I have problems with are the Bothy Thread's. They do use a fraction backstitch. I think yours look great.<br /><br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550501401308570248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-32600687397135147222015-02-14T17:39:29.715+00:002015-02-14T17:39:29.715+00:00Thanks so much for your comment.

I have started to make small changes to patterns if there is something I'm not particularly happy with, so I think it is a great solution for back stitching as well.Pull the other threadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277548163652714845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2506308407899423588.post-4819968420310009072015-02-14T17:33:35.748+00:002015-02-14T17:33:35.748+00:00I sometimes re-create backstitch if I find it too ...I sometimes re-create backstitch if I find it too difficult or not looking good on fabric on which i work. I know it is not the best idea to do sometimes, but i cross stitch for my own pleasure, and very often small change of a backstitch, which is nicer done in other way then it is indicated in pattern, makes result look nicer then if I just follow original lines. <br /><br />And all your works looks really lovely!
