That may be the way to go. I'm not sure. Also, I picked up some nice pearl cotton thread (or whatever it's called) and I think I'll use that instead of regular embroidery floss. It's so luxurious. I picked up a thing of cream, but I'm not sure if that's the right color.
The blue thing is called a tracing wheel
