:applesauce: :applesauce: Great update and I agree with everyone else that the swirls look lovely! Makes sense to stitch them as you go along too.

I love the kreinik swirls!

if you are still unsure about how strong they look, have you considered petite treasure braid? I bought some ages ago to try and oly recently got around to it. its brilliant stuff, much finer than the kreinik I've used and I find it behaves a bit better too. It is a little more expensive I think but you get a surprising amount and if it makes your life easier, its well worth the money. I know sew and so sell it at a pretty reasonable price

Oh this is going to be just gorgeous. What a lovely idea to have the two different Cinderellas facing each other.

Those blingy swirls look fab too :applesauce: :applesauce:

It is beautiful! :applesauce: i have started trying to backstitch more as I go rather than saving it all for the end as well. I look forward to your next update.

She's beautiful and you're really flying through this one. Great idea to do back stitching as you go - there's a lot of it and it could be overwhelming (at least it would be for me).

:applesauce: :applesauce: Beautiful update and you are making great progress! Depending on the project I backstitch as I go rather than save it for the end, though I have had very little backstitching to do since the majority of my stitching projects don't have any. I don't mind backstitching because I love to see the details of a design emerge and find it encourages me to keep going.
