It all came together in a rush, and here's my new stitching, set up and ready to work with.
I have here a backing of a satiny sort of fabric with a sparkly fleck in it, with two transparent layers, one a photograph I printed on silk, the other a line drawing of a tree from the same trees in the photograph, but at a different season.
So I need to put in stay stitches first, to stabilize it for work. Then I might rehoop it in a smaller hoop, I'll see. My stitching will go through all three layers, so they need to lie well together.
I already did a choice of threads to use, maybe not all of them, but this range anyway. Silk, and some actual gold thread for goldwork, and other metallic threads. Starting it at stitch-in this evening.
