Hi Haven't been able to proceed as I am waiting on the bean stitch color thread.This is a color that is not even close in the Janome color range, its Floriana color #809 and is a very pale wheat color. I have a Floriani color conversion chart and ordered it in a Isacord number #781 as I can get it local. The bean stitch back ground is on all the tiles and is stitched out before any embroidery is started, most bean stitch is usually 3 ply stitch overlay but on this they are using 9 ply stitch to give an embossed look, should have the color spools in the next couple of days and will get a start on the tiles .I ordered several spools as a 1000m will do about 200k stitches and I think I will be around the 320K count on this project just on back ground bean stitch.I think it was said the project is all based on a Totamai stitch.
