I'm always thankful in the end. First time I ever tried it I did the whole fabric wrong and had to start again (drawing the grid) do you stitch yours?

I do! I use Sulky Sliver and I'm thankful every time I grid, I just hate the actual act of doing it. I count and mark everything with pins and then stitch where the pins are (usually this is the third time I count everything lol) and I've only messed up a couple times back when I was starting out.
