Loose thread, who could see that when you see feathers with beautiful curvatious ends, stitched at a lovely graceful angle and that flow back to meet the stem as if you could continue on to the very bottom of it. With such beauty and grace in the feathers, you could have 10 or 20 threads and I wouldn't notice them.
