I frog all the time, but then I'm a perfectionist. I also, when it's only a question of a stitch or two, just sew over them with the correct color if that's possible. But I like to change patterns, to fit my needs, or because I think it might be nicer differently. Needless to say, not all ideas work out, so back to frogging.

I don't think I have ever stitched a project without a mistake. Didn't know the term, but yes every piece I do I end up frogging, plus I am very good at making the same mistake over and over again when correcting something. It's part of the fun if cross stitch.

I have become far more easy going now than when I first started stitching.If I can get away with it, I don't frog.If the mistake is not going to affect how the finished result will look it stays in - especially on bigger pieces.Who is going to notice one wrong stitch out of several hundred thousand!On smaller work where it seems to noticeable to me (even though others might not know) I do tend to frog.

If I'm still stitching with the same thread, I'll try to frog the whole thing.If I've already moved on and realize it later, I'll try to remove it near the area.But if it's a small error and doesn't cause a problem, I might leave it as is.

I am not sure what frogging means exactly.
Over the many years of stitching I have knowingly only...
frogging is to remove stitches - unpick (rip it out - sounding like a frog)

I frog (rip it, rip it for those who don't know what frogging means) back to where the mistake started.Putting in so much time on a piece I'd rather frog and have it right.Of course, I am a lot older now.I had no patience as a young woman and would just bulldoze ahead.....:-)

When I have to frog I very gently use a seam ripper.I frog only as far as I must and start the new stitching a couple of x's back from the rip.

PS - I would only give up on a piece if the whole thing was wrong.Some times you can just go with the mistake.......leave it there and don't frog.

I dont´t do it, if it is not absolutely necessary. I dont´t do mistakes, I change pattern. I call it "author´s intention".:)
And frogs in my country croak otherwise.
