Have just brought Anchor Multicolous 1325 and 1375, any tips on the best way to use these so I get the consistent colours change?

Sorry if this is repeated elsewhere.

Work each cross individually to get the colour changing evenly.

If you wor rows of crosse you will get rows of lines but if you want a more blotchy effect work in patches so you work down and across rather than jut in lines, makes for a mesier back, but a gorgeous dapples effect with the colours. But ust experiment with putting it down. So long a you work all crosses seperately it will change evenly across the piece.

Well, if you want the uniformed effect, the best way would be to stitch 1 full cross at a time.

I started doing one full cross at a time with my HAED because I thought it would be easier if I had a visit from the

Might try both options!!! Think I was just doing my usual and overthinking it.

Probably...but they do look complicated to ue if you've never used them before. Once you start using them though you soon get the hang of it. Putting the stitches down in different ways gives different effect and you soon learn what does what. The important thing is...these colours compliment each other, that' why they've been chosen, so you can't really go wrong with them however you stitch them.

I've learned to cut my lengths at the same point in the varigation too - so all my lengths start and end in the same shade/colour.
