Not quite sure what to do...

Post by Bizzington »

So I'm working on my first HAED, and I'm only on the first page. I've noticed that I've made a few small mistakes here and there but it's too late to :anotherfrog: them because the backs have been covered by other threads. What do I do when i'm stitching around these slightly messed up areas?

What I done is if they're only one to three stithches in one spot and a single stitch in a other spot that aren't that noticeable, then I will just leave them. You could always put a picture up and don't tell people where's the mistake and see if they notice. Most of the time nobody will know but you.

I made a couple of small mistakes on the first page of my Chesterton HAED. I found I was able to just stitch over them again without it being too noticeable but that would depend on fabric/count/no. strands etc...

I just stitch over any mistakes with the correct colour unless it's obvious that it won't make a difference. In some areas of HAEDS even just one little cross out of place might make a difference i.e. in an eye or really fine detail, and in some areas the odd miscount won't make a difference. I never attempt to frog unless I have just that second stitched it, I just stitch over it.
