Hi,
Thanks for the input I received about stitching from the center. The pattern was marked for the center stitches so that made everything much easier.
I debated about starting from the top left since so many people seem to prefer stitching that way, but it seemed like I would have to do a colour change every few stitches. That seemed very complicated so I started the pattern in the center.\
I pick a symbol that has quite a few stitches and build the pattern around the first 30-40 stitches. It does mean quite a bit of counting and re-counting at first but once the basic stitches are correct and in the proper place it is easy. I have been working on this for a week now and have approx. a 1/2 page done.
The pattern is absolutely amazing, the floss labels are amazing too. I am planning on ordering a couple more patterns this month.
