I can help but think that running the basting line will take nearly

the pearls were to go...

Thread tracing does take time, but sometimes it's worth it. I
once had tiny pleats to make on a very woodgy fabric (grain shifted
easily). The thread tracing took longer than it did to actually
stitch the pleats, but was the best way to get everything in the
right place.
