I've decided to try the "parking" method, and omg, it's like taking the escalator instead of the stairs! Soooo much faster!
I wish this photo was clearer, but my iPad doesn't have a flash and it was kind of dark in my office, but you can see some of the outline of his cheeky face.
I am now 61% done! The hump has been crossed, it should be all downhill from here. (Looks at patten and shudders) Er, yeah, downhill...
I'll post the next update at the completion of page 5. I'll be keeping a rather low profile until then.

DeleteHello Rai-Rai
ReplyDeleteYour dragon is looking great!
I've never tried this stitching method before.
Have a good week (:
Thanks Meggie, using the parking method definitely is dragster if you are doing a project with several colors that are constantly changing, but the downside is it can be confusing. You have to make sure that your colors are being parked in the correct hole, or you will have a real hot mess on your hands! But it is faster. Like, waaay
Deleteharder, not dragster. Sometimes auto correct is a real pain!
DeleteHe looks fantastic! I love his face too. The parking method is one of my favourite way of stitching especially confetti heavy charts like HAED. I really don't remember how I use to stitch before I discovered parking, but I will never go back to it whatever it was LOL!
