I've been goofing off, when I should be stitching (actually just taking a break), and found this site: Memes for Stitchers.
So, here are the questions for today:
Backstitching
Here are a few questions to answer:
1. Do you enjoy backstitching?
2. Do you do it as you go or at the very end?
3. Does the amount of backstitching in a project influence your decision to stitch a pattern?
A-1. It doesn't bother me one way or the other... Sometimes it adds so much to the design. I like seeing how it 'defines' the elements of a design.
A-2. It depends on the design. If it's small, I'll do it at the end. For large projects, I'll do sections, so as not to leave it all to the end.
A-3. Nope. If I like the design, the backstitching is just part of the elements.
Anyone else have any opinions on backstitching?
Thanks for reading and your comments...

Checking in,and as for the questions no time to answer
Hi GF: I'm not crazy about BSing; however, there are times when the design needs it & the accent improves the pattern : )
Nicholas is in orientation for the local retirement community - dishwasher/server for evening meals (while school in session) & will have lunch shifts during summer months. Sorry your DD is not able to find anything. Nick has been looking for a month & is thrilled to have this opportunity.
I don't really like backstitching. I usually wait until the end, unless it is a face that needs defining. I don't like to have the faceless look. The amount of backstitching in a project does not influence me if I really like the pattern.
I hate backstitching! It makes me nuts. It's the devil's work...yuck. pfft! ACK!!!
If I am forced to backstitch because of the design then I try to do it as I go so I don't feel like I am stitching the project a second time.
Yes, the amount of backstitching influences my choice of design. I stay away from Theresa Wentlzer designs for that very reason. I am stitching The Castle for my DS and it's slow going because of the backstitching, although it does make the dragon come alive. I would rather do confetti stitching than backstitch. sSo can you tell how much I hate backstitching? LOL!!!!
