I probably make it even more tedious by doing it that way; you've probably got the right idea by doing it as you go, but I kind of like watching the design sharpen into focus at the very end.<br /><br />The peach biscornu pattern is just breath-taking, Jen. Elegant and beautiful! Thanks so much for posting your corrections on MW, too. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your doing that. You've saved me a lot of unpicking. lolMarenhttp://stitcherydoo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388300404487383129.post-60421422527641202302009-07-07T23:54:38.849+01:002009-07-07T23:54:38.849+01:00I hate doing backstitching but some patterns they ...I hate doing backstitching but some patterns they just don't look right without it.

I wonder what it would look like with the dark blue as a "border" and the other for the internal motifs? Have you noticed if anyone has tried this?<br />Happy stitchin'<br />MarcyMarcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483407208285823600noreply@blogger.com
