Thank you all for you opinions. I am still undecided but Shirley I think you may be right and the dot will take away from the embroidery. The embroidery will be done in a dark black/brown color. Never had such a hard time making a decision as to which fabric to use. Must be the weather...... Hope to get the borders on this weekend and some of the embroidery done then I will post a picture for you all to see which way I decided to go.
