Update: I do have all the first layer of pearls around bottom of scalloped edge. Also bought tulle at Walmart and have been practising stitches and use of various threads all week. Have decided on thread color and type and also the stitch will be an embroidery stitch called backstitch. Also have all the motif patterns traced on onion skin paper. Tried every kind of marker I had but nothing shows on tulle, so am going to cut out pattern with razor blade and put inside of hoop and just use it as a guide for freehand. At least I can follow that. Will keep you updated and as soon as I get one motif done will picture
