Thank you for that comment. I was wondering why everyone was so concerned about the markings. I just assumed the lines are always covered by thread.

The idea that these should disappear is entirely a modern convention, as historically embroidery marks were made with ink. This is not something about which I trouble myself. I just make sure my embroidery is good enough to cover the marks. Just as the professionals of history. End of story. :-) Speaking of which, I've just finished doing a restoration and addition to a lovely vintage cotton voile christening gown. I am ever so pleased. Hope to have pics and story of it up on the website in the next week or two.
