Annual Ornament

 I got Rachael Kinnison's annual ornament. It's beautiful. 

I felt guilty ordering it as I haven't finished this one yet. I think it was her first annual ornament.

With the first ornament I tried following the directions but just couldn't stitch through the paper glued to the back. So I ordered more satin and tried again. Totally messed it up. Then I traced it again. But my dilema is the thread. I hate the thread. It is like stitching with a hair. The ornament has been sitting around for a while.

This year's coffer uses a different thread, Trame. It is supposed to be separated and yes, it is like stitching with a hair. I tried a little circle and it looks okay. But I hate stitching with a hair. So, do I find a thread I can stand? I think I have to or it will never get stitched.
