Thanks! It's not finished yet - I have to do the lettering and borders - but the bulk of the stitching is done.

:D I always have my great-aunt in mind when I'm stitching. She produced the neatest backs.

Yes, it's completely worth doing. For some reason I always dread it, even though it goes faster than "regular" stitching?!
