Here is one restored part of the tablecloth edge. The coloured dots are my work. If you imagine this is just one of 22 nibbled areas you will get an idea of the amount of work involved. Every other row had to be hand unpicked until all the damage was excluded. Of course it also meant a lot of threads to be darned in (2 for every row) But the happy dance has been done!!!!

Maria, you should definately be doing a happy dance. If that section is any indication you did an excellent job. All I can say is "WELL DONE!"

Maria you are incredible!! I scrolled down to see some of the original destroyed cloth. What a vast difference.
Congratulations on a wonderful achievement.
Bet the owner is also doing a very happy dance.

Maria, that is amazing! If you didn't have those dots there, I'd have no idea where it was fixed.
