Stitching Blogger’s Question of the Week – September 7, 2005

Yes, I’m a day late, but hopefully not a dollar short.

Today’s “Stitching Blogger’s Question” is:

Which way do you stitch (/// and then \ or \ and then ///)? Can you (or if you haven’t done it before, do you think you could) change the way that you stitch temporarily if it is asked of you?

I stitch the traditional DMC-taught way, which is /// then \. I have never attempted to change this at all, but imagine that I could if it was required of me. I know I’ve recently had to change how I bead to match a designer’s style and it’s tough at first, but I’ll rip it out and redo it if it’s not right.

I’ve read that this was related to an issue with a Round Robin piece. I’ve never done a round robin before, but if I were stitching on something for another person, I would make every effort to do it whatever way she wanted. After all, she’s the one who has to look at it all of the time after it’s finished!
