Outline last...looks much better and goes much quicker

Outline last. I like to outline as I go -- that's a lie -- I prefer pictures that do not need outlining -- but if has to be outlined I hate to do it all at once.

Just like a quilt . Start with the center .

ditto

The outlining is the last part.

Cross stitch first then outline.

When I start to cross stitch I start right smack in the middle and work outwards. That way I know it is going to be centered correctly on the fabric.

go ahead and finish......outline again if necessary

Outline to finish.

Outline last.

always and forever, do the outlining last!! That will be so cute.. I love it.. At least the outlines should come out pretty easily.. or just go ahead and stitch, the outline again.. probably won't hurt a thing.
