I start with (1) (2) (3) (4). Then I do the other rows or columns but

then go the other way.
Thanks! This is really helpful! I've printed it out and it's going into my quilting file for reference :)
I'm working on a Christmas quilt and I'm supposed to SID for the xmas trees in the middle of the quilt. Will what you've described still work? ie start and end with small stitches.
I always feel iffy about using contrasting thread for the top. My top has colours consisting of cream, red and green and my backing fabric is red. Would u suggest that I use cream thread for the bobbin and top? But the cream would be a great contrast against the red backing. Hmmm....preference is to use cream for the top and red for bobbin, but I'll run into the thread tension problem as described above.
