Your piece was beautiful to start with...now after the thread painting it is BREATHTAKING....I love this technique, it really brings out the beauty of the flowers. Thanks so much for posting the pics. It will inspire many I think.

It's easy , you don't even have to set up the machine. First think of it as a puzzle. Once you go down to kinko's and have the picture that she gives you in the book, blown up to the size you like, you'll then see it better. The small size it the book looks scarry but once it's true to size, it looks better. Then just use a extra fine marker and freezer paper and start tracing pieces, one section at a time, not every thing all at once. Just like a puzzle one section at a time. Once you get going you won't be able to stop. Try it You'll like it.

I have this wonderful book and was very enthused, however I tried to work on the pieces the size in the book ....WRONG... :shock: .so I am going to try again soon and blow up the size to make it more workable.

Its really wonderful what you did
