This is how it looks right now, after I finishe dthe second bobbin of thread. I'm about halfway through the first spool, I'd guess.

It could clearly be better, especially if I had the time and energy and dedication to work per hand on a big hoop. But lacking said predispositions, I haven't found a way to manoeuver such a large device under the foot of my machine, so I try to keep the fabrics flat with my hands and many, many safety pins. This thing, I have to tell you, is killing me. I can't work much more than a few hours on it at a time because handling the fabric layers makes my arms ache.
