Do you railroad?
Yes, err… sort of. Not in the traditional sense, but I try to be aware of how my threads are laying when I am stitching. I can’t explain it, but I make sure that the threads are laying side-by-side without having to railroad or use a laying tool. It’s a technique that doesn’t produce 100% perfect results, but it doesn’t interrupt the flow of my stitching or take me any longer to stitch (not that I notice, at least; I’m already a slow stitcher), so it works for me. 🙂
