Question about stitching larger patterns (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I did not realize when I downloaded this new pattern that it is larger than the widest loop that I have (I realize this is my own fault for not reading the description closely enough). Is it ok to clamp the loop down onto parts I've already stitched so I can work on the next part of the pattern or will this mess up the stitches?

That’s no issue at all! Look at this:

You can clearly see loop marks but when finished you don’t notice it at all! This is even without iron / wash.

I’ve worked with small loops on huge patterns without issues.

That's good to know! The pattern I'm making is way less detailed and delicate looking than this one so now I feel much better about it!
