I would love to backstitch as I go, but I didn't like how some of the backstitches couldn't be done because it overlapped to a section I didn't do yet. So while backstitching all at the end is quite tedious, I feel it's a necessary evil. In regards to beading, I have to wait til the end because I use q-snap frames.
