A chart specifying aida cloth shows a square crossed by a backstitch on the diagonal and a small symbol of the color of the design on one side of the diagonal. Is it practical (possible?) to do a partial stitch here? If not, what does this mean I should do?
Partial Stitch on Aida?

If possible, I usually opt for the partial stitch when the instructions are that way. I think it looks neater that way..

My guess is that this occurs at the edge of an area where the symbol is one of the colours in that area. What I would do is to do a small stitch, from the corner of the square to the middle of the square in the corner where the symbol is. Easy on an even weave; a little bit of a challenge on aida. Jim
In agreement - just poke a hole through the Aida - it'll work.

I keep a sharp needle at hand, and use it to poke a starter hole in the middle of the Aida block for the cross stitch needle to go through. Works fine.
