Most cases I persevere.   I do take my time and make sure it is right the first time.  It is time consuming but so well worth the effort.    I expect to spend hours backstitching!

break up the task by doing it as you go along - as long as you have done all the cross stitching in a particular section first

Been thinking about doing this for a current proj I just started. I like the idea of not having to be so impatient to finish a finished project!  Post time 2013-10-16 12:22

I try to backstitch as I go if I can so it does not seem like it takes as long, but backstitching makes the piece look so good :)
