SBQ: Newbie Advice

This SBQ was suggested by Nancy and is:

What tips would you give to a new stitcher to help her stitch faster and neater while still keeping it enjoyable?

I’m going to deviate from the norm on this one and say that the key is just to enjoy yourself. Yes, it would be nice if your stitches all cross the same way, but this craft isn’t about perfection. It’s about allowing yourself to unwind and relax. Let your needle hang freely every once in a while so that the thread can unwind, especially if you’re starting to get knots. Otherwise, have fun doing something you love!

    Yep, I second your wise advice! Max’s stitching is still terribly messy, but he enjoys it SO much that I keep my mouth shut. 🙂
