Progress on Hiogi

Making progress on Hiogi, the paulownia buds are stitched and some of the stems are in, the veins in the green leaf ( separated single layer) are on, but the short stitch holding is not complete. the cherry blossoms are basted on , as is the grommet on the main rib of the fan. So what I need to do now is finish pulling away the tracing paper that was used to establish the stitching lines, and do some short stitch holding. I tried the short stitch holding and it is a challenge, so while it looks OK on the spaces in Shippo, it doesn't look good on the paulownia leaf. I think I need to set up some threads on a piece of waste fabric and practice this technique. I do have a piece of habutae and some orphan flat silks so I can practice before I go and ruin something on Hiogi.
