You did a great job

Just one pass. But I used a really tight zig zag stitch, almost set to zero. And of course like with anything that glows it needs to be "charged" under a light. I'm thinking you may have tried to charge yours with CFL's in which case it won't work at all. A black light for some reason or another seems to super charge it and is what we used to photograph it with a long exposure.
