Winnie the Pooh afghan
Decided to stitch an afghan for our new baby due in July. Haven't started it yet as it only came yesterday but so excited I had to share straight away
I will bobbin the threads tonight and hopefully thread a needle
Any tips for keeping the back as neat as possible most welcome

Re: Winnie the Pooh afghan
that is going to be precious. When I do an afgahn I make sure to weave threads under each other when I have to go more than 3 or 4 spaces in between. Doesn't look like you
will have too much confetti. I usually try to do the colors with the least stitches first so that they are covered in the back by the larger blocks (less need to weave then). I hope I'm making sense. Congrats on the new baby.

Re: Winnie the Pooh afghan
Congratulations!!
I am currently stitching a dumbo afghan for a friends baby due end of June, and I think the best tip I would have is to loop start. Since I have started using this method I have found my backs to be SO neat they could probably be better but I'm pleased nonetheless
Here is the back of my first dumbo :
And the link to my own SAL (which I will update too )

Can't wait to see your progress, I am sure you will catch me up soon! xx

Re: Winnie the Pooh afghan
Yes VERY neat Twinkle I haven't used the loop method, just usual under a few threads but the backs not looking too bad. I keep checking it for knots (grr…hate that) and I'm not trailing threads too far. Hopefully it will be as neat as yours:)
What's the max no. of squares you've gone across with your backstitch? I'm not at that stage yet but was thinking about it the other day? I was thinking over each one would keep it neat and prevent toes & fingers getting caught in the trailing stitches?

I didn't even think of fingers and toes tbh Oops. I just did my back stitch as I normally do - whatever suits! Lol. Probably not the best method but it works...usually

Re: Winnie the Pooh afghan
so cute!
and when I do something where my back w/ show..I buy the iron on interfacing..it's sticky on one side which you iron on the back of the stitching and all you will see is a piece of white soft material. They do it a lot to cover embroidery on a shirt so on the inside it won't scratch/irritate your skin.
