fancywork it is Jennie.
One of the vintage pieces I'm keeping is the last piece I bought. It's a willow pattern in fine blue backstitch, I'd never seen anything like it so I had to have it. It wasn't till I scanned it to send the pic to a friend that I noticed every stitch was precisely over one thread. It wasn't handkerchief linen, but it isn't a coarse weave. My friends praise my fine stitching, but only a few of my stitches are over 1 thread, most are bigger, & they are very uneven!
Maggie I love to get pics of some of your embroideries, & could send you some of mine
