Left it several years, occasionally looking into backing fabrics and so on. In the end I just stitched the edges under - I didn't think of tape, and it works fine. Yours does look very professional with the tape though. That's another one you can tick off the list! :)Janice / Dancing with Sunflowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08646734271197959581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-12113767861628289012016-09-22T19:38:11.211+01:002016-09-22T19:38:11.211+01:00Great job!
