I did my first back stitches ever today. And at last the blob of colour looks a bit like a little flower. I have to admit that I did not hate doing it. I have read on many blogs, that everyone seems to hate the back stitches but it wasn't that bad for me. In fact I rather enjoyed it. :) It was nice to see the little out-of-focus flower take shape. And here is a little look . . .
Personally, I like backstitching. I love the clean, defined lines it gives stitching. It's usually quick and easy too! But, yes, a lot of people dont care for it.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind it as it usually makes the finished product take shape! Some patterns can be pretty intensive in the bsing department though. Like the Dimension Christmas ornies I am doing right now! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks lovely and yes the back stitching does make the design pop. Personally I HATE back stitching. BUT it does bring out the details. One of those necessary evils. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your DH is feeling a little better today.
I think it is the thought of it...you are nearly finished and then you see the backstitch. Once started I find it quite calming.
