Fun addition, I like the Guilloche Stitch, it makes a fancy border.
And in your previous post your canvas stitches are super beautiful and the pillow project is amazing with the fabulous gold added. Thanks for sharing.
good tip for satin stitch
Great combination of stitches!

It's a good one to play with different thread thicknesses as well..
