    Frame tension tips for a 2.5m palak panel

    My big panels pucker in the center by the time I reach the last medallion. How do you keep even tension across a wide ground over weeks of stitching?

    Pomegranate-vine layout — drawing the qalam before stitching?

    Do you chalk the whole anor-tok vine first, or improvise from the central medallion outward the old way? Curious how Shahrisabz vs Bukhara masters differ.

    Best madder mordant for deep oxblood reds?

    I keep landing on brick-orange. Alum alone or alum + a touch of iron after-bath? What ratios give that deep Nurota red without going muddy?
