Julie,
You have gotten some good advise about Mechlin ground - tension as you go, pins were expensive, time is money.... I have one more thing - practice.
I have made a few small Mechlin and Valenciennes pieces. In one of them (I think it was Val), I noticed my diagonal line of stitches were veering to the left. (I was working from top right to lower left.) I changed my tension and the diagonal was veering to the right!!!
Somewhere in between was "just right".
So our first directive - tension, tension, tension
and the second is - practice, practice, practice.
Still, remember to have fun!
