ok this is a term I have seen used a few times and I am wondering what it means??

Confetti is when there are only 1-4 stitches of each of several colors of threads, which means you end up having to keep threading new colors--if that makes sense

edited**this explains it better--found it in the glossary of terms in this section

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.

There ae quite a lot of confetti stitches on my current WIP, what i tend to do is, work on a block of 10 x 10 per session and stitch any confetti in that block first. Then stitch the other colours. That way i find that the back of the stitching does not look so messy.

Just imagine what confetti would like on a graph paper

ok thank you, that's what I thought but I wasn't sure.
