A few tips...

Color Variations is designed to be stitched using any cross stitch technique, its color combinations will always show.

So you can stitch the way you like best:  

1) either using the most common cross-stitch technique half crosses in a way / / / then the other half back \ \ \,

2) or stitching one complete cross at a time : X X X.

If you want more control over the colors:

• for a more blended look, use the first method;
• for a more contrasted look, use the second one.
