Re: Confetti
From the Glossary thread:
Confetti this term is used for individual stitches of one color that are surrounded by different colored stitches in an area. One stitch, one color, surrounded by different stitches of a different color. Seen in HEADs, Mystitc Stitches and other large patterns to create depth or shading.
What is the best way of dealing with it?
Good question.
An efficient method is one I learnt for my last project, that is 'Parking', where you can deal with one row at a time as you progress down the page of the plan. To keep things under control I found a stitch front of 10 stitches was as much as I could cope with. You can see some of the parking intermediate photos in the SAL thread I started to show it as I learned: http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... =6&t=25792.
The solution for loners is... 'It depends on the situation'.
Regards,
Richard
