After stitching the moon background, I outlined the area to be filled in with the FurTaStitch. This allowed me to concentrate on placing the floss instead of counting stitches. I could also use some tiny stitches to fill in the design and have better coverage. The outline would be obscured by the fluff of the textured floss when the project was complete.
