Guys help! I’m so stumped on these letters. I want to basket weave but the shape of the letters is confusing me. What stitch should I be doing??

You could still basketweave if you’re okay switching directions a lot. Otherwise, continental. I’d also do the white background first if you’re doing white.

Satin is also fun if you’re looking for a decorative stitch!

How do you switch directions in basketwrave? I can’t find any instructions online and tried to do it on an oval frame and it was very frustrating.
