I love the french names for all the stitches, wish I could hear how you pronounce them!

Hey Sofia! Wow, your way of tracing is MUCH more complicated than the way I do it ... I just pop the fabric over the book and trace with a light brown pigment pen. For stitcheries that are a bit hard to see, or if I'm tracing onto darker background fabric, I'll photocopy the stitchery design, tape it to a window, then centre the fabric and tape it, then trace. It's the cheapskate's version of a lightbox! :0) Looks like you're powering along with your stitcheries - well done! Bear Hugs! KRIS
