Question: Where Should I Start Stitching?

One of the most common questions new stitchers ask is where to start a project. Should you start in the middle, at the top, or elsewhere?

Answer: The best place for a beginning stitcher to start a project is in the center of the pattern. This will make it easier to keep your place as you stitch.
