Stitching Questions and Answers from me.

Do you have rules in the way you stitch? (i.e., Do you start in the middle? Do you determine which blocks to stitch first? Do you always start from the top or the bottom? Do you have special paths to prevent wasting thread?) I always start in the middle. I always stitch in sections, like the project that I am working on. I am doing the leaves first, then the candy corn and pumpkins. I did one side first and is working on the other side.

Do you always sign your projects? If not, why? If so, do you use your first name, initials or what? I don't usually sign my projects. I just don't make a habit of it.

How do you feel about staying totally true to a pattern? Do you feel that you have to rip out stitches to fix a mistake or do you feel it’s acceptable to incorporate a mistake into the design? I rarely change the pattern. I stay true to it, unless it is a color I don't like, then I will change the color.

When comparing large projects versus small projects, which do you get more excited about finishing? Any project that I completed.

If you have stitched for a while, can you usually pick out the DMC colors you need from memory when you go to your LNS? (For example, you know that 610 is a brown.) Not really, I just grabbed my list and shop for floss.
