Great start...I agree though bottom line thread may be great, it's so fine it's like sewing with a strand of hair...I switched to Mettlers silk-like....
i am doing EPP but not passa...next project for me is POTC by Lucy Boston.......really hate to invest that much in that book(millefiori), but hey, I've spent more on 'junk"....so I will take the plunge soon......
