I’m going to try your method Here’s how I do mine. I do mine 20 inch squares and I do cross country diagonal stitching. I keep track by parking my threads the way you do on Pattern Keeper. I park my thread in the left lower hand corner. Less confusing that way. Thanks for your tutorial videos. They help me out a lot!!! Happy Stitching and Happy Holidays!!!!
Always good to try new styles. Thank you for demonstrating. I do something similar for those checkerboard ish areas you get for shading in haeds like in the sky but I prefer to park underneath rather than work back up. I feel it helps coverage too.
Interesting method. I’ll have to try that out. I have found that threading the ballpoint needles using the method of folding the thread over the needle and pushing the folded thread through the eye works well. Boss daughter (on a Handworkmaniac video) demonstrated this method. I didn’t succed using this method until I relaxed the thread a little while pushing it through. Thank you for another great video!
Hi Karen l tried the diagonal and found that l went down the row with just one leg of the cross then came back up on the second leg l didn’t have any tram lines as l call them and l found it quicker xx

Hi Karen, I always love watching you, learning new ways together.
Hello, Karen. I appreciate you and your videos. They have taught me a lot!
I'm so glad!
You could call it escalator stitch as escalators go up and down 😁

Enjoying watching you develop this new method

Great video and technique
This is a great idea. I have a monochromatic silhouette project I’m going to try this on.
This is interesting. I stitch on the diagonal and color complete in a 10 by 10 with parking.
To me the area you stitched before changing to the new technique looks more even.

Have you noticed more thread usage doing it that way? Your method eliminates having to change direction of stitch or pull on the stitches.
No l think l get better coverage
How about calling it staircase diagonal.
