After a little over a year of stitching now I still feel like a bit of a noob, but I'm pretty comfortable with the basics. These parts of patterns still give me some problems though!
My strategy is usually to just do all of one color then move on to the next filling in the gaps as I go, but when it gets down to filling individual stitches surrounded by a bunch of finished stitches it gets quite cramped and sometimes those final stitches end up looking pretty rough.
Is there some really obvious method of doing this that I'm missing? Does anyone else use a different approach?
I'm just finishing up a big block of color and about to move on to another one of these difficult areas, so I'll try this tonight! Thanks again!
