When the colour contrast is so great I stay on the darker material. I try to stay less than 16th of an inch to the edge, but that really depends on the sewing. If the seams are straight, and hers were really even, then its relatively easy to hold a ruler against the line and follow. Can't do diagonals freehand. And yes there is a lot of starting and stopping to make those breaks where the lattice passes under the top pieces.
