GFG practice piece - Advice?
Still have another row of black for the outer path (path?) I did the ladder stitch, but there are lots of gaps, in my opinion. Also, there were a couple times where when I did one side, and then went to sew the other side, it didnt line up exactly. I went ahead and manipulated it to work, but Im thinking it made puckers. I haven't pressed any of it since I cut it... Am I supposed it at some point??
Thanks in advance. I want to get everything right before I start on "the" big project!

Beautiful purple! I do alot of EPP and I use smaller stitches like Recurver recommended and I also make sure I go completely into that corner and knot off before turning down the next side. The tuck might be because you didn't get the fabric completely folder around the paper smoothly. Just my thoughts.

I think you can fix those spaces easily by running your needle horizontally back and forth between the vertical layers of fabric to bring the adjoining pieces exactly together. Love your colors!

Did you do very tiny ladder stitching picking up one thread from each side. No matter how much you try sizes do sometimes vary. I join the ends stitch one end ind pin the other them make rest too fit. Pressing is something that was not done I was told very often because of the difficulty of warming an iron and also this was an evening occupation with husband and ironing not don at that time in many homes.
