<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldWhitby, post: 4613988, member: 17301&quot;]There are a couple of areas near the top where a few of the threads are loose and you can see the backing which looks like cardboard or the like - no fabric-like texture. I tried to get some pictures but you really can&#039;t see much in them. The first picture is the wider view and then 2 closeup pics.[ATTACH=full]410832[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410833[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]410834[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Re: &quot;there is a large section of white with diagonal uneven black lines. I believe that they laid the white thread down on the linen and then stitched (couched) the white thread to the fabric with the black thread.&quot;</p><p>I believe the &#039;black&#039; thread are the metallic windings that I mentioned in the opening message</p><p><br /></p><p>There are areas where the texture looks like there could be couching but under the magnifying glass the differences in texture are due to the degree of twist in the threads and also the thickness of the thread. You can see that clearly in the last of the 3 pictures above. The large areas of the sky are fine textured because the threads are finer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
