I agree with the other posters. With all those advanced patterns completed, you should be able to do this one too. Sounds like you are worried about the $$ invested in the fabric and that's also adding pressure. You don't want to make a mistake & ruin it... Is there any way that you could use some scrap fabric and make a mini bargello? I think working thru a small version will give you the confidence and help you work out the kinks.
