I am not happy with the background. Does anyone have suggestions for me? I would prefer for it to be a little denser maybe. I think it detracts from the subject.

All the teens I know stand in front of the bathroom mirror and pose with their camera phones.

I will take a picture of it this morning. I am going to start one of another granddaughter this morning. Thanks again. Lola for teaching us such a fun, easy technique.

Thank you. If I can do it so can you. It is not a matter of knowing what you are doing, just trust your first instinct when you look at something. I did do a lot of more stitching on the background yesterday. The first time I was going by the width of my free motion foot but now I know that doesn't work.

I love it! Yes - if you don't mind me saying so - a darker, perhaps denser, background would make the figure stand out more (but I don't really know what I'm talking about as I've only just signed up for the Thread Art Class and haven't started yet). However, if I can produce something one quarter as good as this, I shall be more than happy! Well done!

I would do some more stitching. Probably make it pretty thicken. More hatching and cross hatching would really enhance it.

Thank you. I am always afraid to do too much but it needs more. I also want to try and get rid of those points where I came in and turned. If worse comes to worse, I will trim it down to a narrow border. I already took a couple inches off. Nice thin about this, who knows we didn't plan it this way?
