2005-12-11 03:47 pmLast night I did a bit of trim application on the ropa, as I reported. Well, today I have photos and more firm ideas.

The sleeves are not yet done, I want to do another row of cord on the inside of the first line, making it trim, cord, cord at the cuffs and cord, cord around the opening at the top.
In the turnings around the top of the sleeves I might also get a big fancy before I am done. I might also decide to add a line of my cord on the inside of the braid that goes down the front of my ropa. If I come up with some fancy swirls at the sleeves I might do one of those at the top and do a double row.
Anyway, technical issue with the couching down of the cord: In the picture above I've used red thread on the right and black on the left - which should I be using? I did rather large couching stitches for now as I'm still not sure which colour to use, and wasn't sure how I wanted it to look exactly, so it's attached more in the way of basted than sewn. The line wobbles quite a bit now with the long stitches, but if I use tighter couching the thread I end up using to couch it down with will matter.
Opinions? Suggestions?
