Seeing as I still don’t have progress to post (and probably won’t for quite a few days yet, as I’m going to concentrate on catching up on my blogs this week), here’s another archival stitching meme:
1. Do you enjoy backstitching?
2. Do you do it as you go or at the very end?
3. Does the amount of backstitching in a project influence your decision to stitch a pattern?
1. I don’t mind backstitching – I like the fact that it brings a piece to life in many cases … I wouldn’t say it’s my ‘favourite’ thing to do, but it doesn’t really worry me too much.
2. Depending on the design, and the way I feel at the time – sometimes I’ll backstitch as I go, and sometimes I’ll leave it until the end … it really does depend on my mood on the day.
3. Backstitching would never influence my choice of design – if I love the design, but it has 20 million backstitches in it, I’d still stitch it … likewise, if it has no backstitching at all, I’d stitch it – backstitching is just ‘part of the package’ and no influence whatsoever.
Feather Stitching 
I’ve often wondered why people don’t like backstitching. It has never bothered me. Like you said, it brings a piece to life.
Good answer. BSing just gets boring. When it is needed I will add it – the accents make the project.–>
