I just like to know how you all keep track of where you left off when following a pattern from a book, or print out or whatever form for patterns come out.
I am working on a flower, and there are variations of colors that are so close you can't really tell where you left off unless you stare at it over and over to match where exactly you are at.
Ok...I gotta go out and eat. I'm starving. Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions.

By definition - any printing from PCStitch is a "working" copy because you can always print it again! Personally, I prefer black symbols. The color gets confusing and makes it more difficult to "mark" the completed areas.

I too always make a working copy. That way I can mark off the squares as I go and throw it away afterward. I can't imagine stitching any other way, especially on a large piece, or one with many colors. |

That's what I am figuring out. I print out in color than I print it out with just the symbols....Large print out. The print out with the symbols is my work sheets. Which prints out 5 paper for a design and large enough. So when i start stitching I can cross out on the work sheets of the row I have done and so on.

I use a highlighter to mark my chart. I use a working copy, then throw it out afterweards. |
