Paper texture not showing through

[Edward Ingram]

I recently wanted to use a rough burlap as the paper texture, so I imported a picture of it and applied as I added it to my canvas group. However as soon as I paint (I'm using oil, normal round) the canvas texture doesn't show through. Do I need to further process the burlap picture before i import it? I'm attaching both the start of my painting ane the burlap picture.
Note: It seems like it would be helpful to the administrators and the users if a .ptg file could be uploaded. That way the person reviewing the file could check all the settings, etc.
