    Very pretty, I would prefer it on solid fabric, just my opinion.

    I am on a small screen and I can't really see it, so from that point of view I suggest it is hard to get contrast on that gingham and you might get more return for your efforts if you embroider on the plain fabric?

    I think the embroidery is lovely but it gets lost on the checkered background.

    Yes I agree, it would look better on a solid fabric.

    I like it on the print! Reminds me of a picnic in the park in summer.

    It looks lost on the gingham fabric and the pattern looks unbalanced. Is there a design reason that your gingham is not set straight on the grain?

    Pretty design but IMHO it seems to disappear against the gingham. Mind you, I think it is so lovely to see embroidery on pillow cases. :)
