When embroidering, do not make nodules. Fix the threads under the stitches to hide the tip, both at the beginning of the embroidering, and at the end.

Embroider a line of crosses in two steps: first embroider in the right amount of a line from the bottom stitches, then finish the crosses with the top stitches.

For convenience, you can cross out the embroidered places with a pencil from the chart, so as not to be distracted from the remaining work.
