I am just doing some real basic loop d loop meandering on a quilt
this afternoon. I was thinking about the tip (I think from Marcella)
to go around curves like driving, slow down.
I bet there are a lot of tips like that folks here can share. I could
use some on stops and starts. They are always my downfall.
TIA, Taria

end, dont forget some veins thru the middle.

A trick for pausing - if I must leave basic loop d loop to: let the dog out,
let the dog in and assorted other duties - I find I'm not very smooth in
returning on a 'mid loop'.
You know what the middle petal of a fleur-de-lis looks like? It's sort
of pointed. I can 'begin again' just fine at a point instead of attempting
a smooth continuing of a loop - so I just do the old fleur-de-lis trick when
Yogi's gotta go.
The books recommend setting your stitch length down some and then to
nearly nothing but we don't have time for that sort of production when
nature calls. Polly

My best advice is slow down when stopping and starting. It helps in many
ways.

For starts and stops, Taria, I usually take one (no more) stitch in
place, just to make sure I'm not going to be taking a stitch that veers
wildly off course.
