Fretting about string:

[mightyjesse]

So, I've got one of the tabards appliqued and now it's time for the surface embroidery... But I'm having problems with the thread... I got some nice pearl cotton thread but I don't think I like the effect...



You see the top two black chains were done as two ply and you can see the stitches quite visibly, and I don't think I like it. I ramped down to single ply for the bottom chain, and while it's better, I'm still unthrilled by the result. What should I do here? Opinions? (Tristan's going to be wearing this sucker, so where-ever he is, he may want to weigh in...) PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST SPLIT STITCH. I hates them, I does.

Here's a "further away" picture for anyone who is caring for in progress pics.

Zig and I won't be at practice tonight, due to Zig's friend getting a spot on the Ultimate Fighter TV Show this season... (Tonight is the first episode of this season.) We will be at an MMA party tonight instead of Fighter practice. Hopefully Murdoch can leave the package with Eithni and we can pick it up when I leave with her to come to your house on Friday. :-)

That works, too. If he forgets altogether I'll just have it on Friday.

I saw him, but received no package.
