Hi All, I wanted to post in the previous thread, by this title, but couldn't figure out how to do it. Maybe it's been deactivated do to lack of activity. In any event, I have completed the umbrella. It was a long haul. I can provide pictures of the finished work, if anyone is interested. I made many mistakes, but was able to recover from them. Thanks, mainly to Diane and Lucille, for your help. The back stitch worked realIy well. I apologize for not replying to those who posted after my last post - I haven't been to the site since I started the project, and so didn't read your replies. I am starting on a new cover, and hopefully will not repeat the same mistakes. Thank you all.......
John
