I used to hate doing 3/4 stitches on Aida; they were also so fiddly. Then I discovered cloths for cross-stitch that had a higher thread count, so the squares were smaller, and stitches were generally worked across 4 squares instead of 1. It left the overall look of the project the same, but made the fractional stitches much easier to handle. You're making me want to get back into cross-stitch now. I have a half-finished (not even half, really) lying somewhere in this apartment; I ought to dig it out and get back to it. Are you doing your cross-stitch on Aida cloth?
