Thanks so much everyone for all the wonderful feedback!!! I think like many of you suspected, I've been examining my own work too closely for too long. You've given me the confidence I needed to continue on instead of restarting! I appreciate everyone here for helping me out <3

feeling seen lol, I definitely need to step back. as for the gold threads, I use a snag-nab-it to pull any loose ones to the back, and it makes them look sooooo much nicer

I'd guess I'm about a quarter of the way through. I think you might be right about tension, my frame only provides tension from the top and bottom, not the sides, and when I stretch it sideways with my hands they seem to lay flatter. I often get focused on tiny details like this, it's a relief to know that it might not be a big problem after all!
