Definition: Stitchers often refer to scattered single stitches as confetti stitches. The stitches are spread across the fabric as if they had been sprinkled like confetti.

Ok, now that I know what' you're talking about, I can give you a good answer. As much as we all love to carry our thread, it does show through in some occasions. A good example of TERRIBLE carrying over would be in the Just Cross Stitch halloween book. It came out last year or the year before. One of the patterns had confetti stitches in black, and whoever they hired to stitch the sample carried the thread. And it showed through. Bad. So, it's best to just do as many as you can closely, but unfortunately bind off underneath. If it's just one stitch, I pass the needle through the back of the stitch a few times to hold it down. When I frame something with confetti stitches, I go around and put a piece of non-acid tape over them, so they don't come loose.

I have no tips, when I have to do this kind of points in a very large work I dismiss the perfect back;P

I love love love the Pinhead Stitch! You can only use it when stitching over 2 though. I know some people use it with adia but I have no experience with this. I was doubtful about the pinhead stitch at first, it really seems like you will be able to tell. But if you pull it tight enough (not too tight warp your fabric) you can not see it at all. I will start and stop with this on the same X, and still looks great.

There are lots of the confetti stitches in the HAED designs. I just do them one by one and finish it off. There is no stranding of cotton at the back and it looks much neater :D
