The Stitching Journey
This design is lovely to stitch in sections — many stitchers enjoy starting with Santa’s bright red suit, then moving into the snowy rooftop and the reindeer. The winter sky and background can feel especially soothing to work on, making it a comforting project to return to whenever you want quiet, steady progress.
If you choose to use the backstitch, it can be nicest to add it at the very end, as a final finishing touch to bring out crisp details.
