Completely unrelated, but I love how you marked the center on this piece. I usually just fold the fabric in quarters and mark it with a pencil but I can see that wouldn't work on this dark material. Also I like the frame. I've never been able to figure that kind out so I just use boring old hoops.

Some people do a whole grid! I can't be bothered, but centerlines really do help.

I usually try to do a reddish thread for the vertical and a bluish thread for the horizontal, like the lines on notebook paper. But in this case I wanted to go high contrast, and I was at a conference so my colour choices were limited. At least with the scroll frame I'm in much less danger of starting it sideways.
