One frequently asked question is "What is the best way to keep my place when I am stitching Cross Stitch designs?"

One simple way to keep your place is to stitch an arrow at the top of the design.

You may also want to stitch the arrow so that it reminds you of the direction of the bottom half stitch of the cross stitch.

After the design is complete, simply clip the arrow away.

The design show is stitched from the free Sunburst Cross Stitch pattern.
