Hi Dolphin82 I use an Highlighter because if I don't I know I will get lost. I also scan parts of the picture onto my computer so I can print them off A4 size so I can see it a lot easier. I haven't got bad eyes it just makes it easier to see.

Re: Confessions of a Cross Stitcher
I care about the back I try to make it look just right. I nearly had a heart attack when I read (I don't care about the back). I will pick heaps of stitches if I have a knot in the cotton on the back, I don't think I would go past a 100 though

Re: how did you start?
I started cross stitch when I was 35 years old on holiday with my wife in Croydon in Surrey, England.
