Thank you so much for sharing hun. I'm not really into that. But you made a very interesting video. And if I was into it that card would be an awesome tool!
So pleased I found your video(s) - great help as I'm new to Petit Point. Would you recommend/ do you use a parking method for complex designs and, if so, I presume it would work as per cross stitch? Thanks
Hi Mark! I wouldn’t “park” with petit point because it would make the stitches that you’re carrying under puffier than the surrounding stitches, if that makes sense. I’ve tried carrying along the back, but then I had issues where the thread would get caught up in the needle and get shredded or generally make a mess. Plus with advanced patterns where there are many colours, it can be treacherous making sure to remember which symbol/colour is actually hanging back there. I’ve also had an issue where I tried to do a colour over a larger area and then I made a counting error and had to rip out. I would recommend just working an area (like a cm square) of a colour, then finishing the thread at the back and going on to the next colour in that area. Thank you for watching, and I’m so glad you found it helpful!
