My method of attack was I would do 4-5 stitches at a time, then wipe the excess with a micro fiber towel. Then I would go back with a flash light to make sure I got the sides of the stitches, and filled in between the stitches. It was approx. a one hour with no beer job.
Thank you very much for the info, I am currently OCONUS due to work. As soon as I get back, that will my first task.

I would follow your advise for sure Sir.

Give these Tulip markers a try. They are affordable and they offer more color options, great for people who like to do intricate artworks on fabric.
