Does anyone have any helpful hints or tricks that can help me out? I'm doing the detail work on my samurai and he has a crap ton of them, and I would rather not screw them all up. Thanks!

I'm beginning to hate these more than French knots. I know how to do them, but every time I do them, they pull too much or something and just turn out as straight lines as opposed to the daisy-petal shape they're suppose to be. I know sometimes I pull too tight, but sometimes, I think I do everything right and they still look like crap.

Re: Lazy Daisies
Think about it like this. It not about pulling, its about laying. You're not really pulling the thread to the position you want, but you are creating a hoop you like, then laying it down and tacking it down. So, I create my hoop, push it over with my finger, and adjust it to the size I want. Once it looks about right, then I do the second stitch to tack it down. That way, there's really no pulling involved and therefore it doesn't get out of whack.
