Backing done -

 

 

I fixed the messed up section - 

 

And sewed both sections together -  

 

For the backing for the panel on the wall - 

 

Then I put it up on the design wall - 

But I didn't put it up very high - 

Because it's hard to reach - 

 

 

But I folded back one corner - 

 

So you can see that it is more than long enough - 

 

To give me a backing that is "larger" than the top - 

 

I wanted to make a "test" backing - 

Only a little wider than the top - 

To see how well the side leader cloths will work - 

And with both a long horizontal seam - 

And a long vertical seam - 

To see if I want to avoid one or the other - 

When I make "future" backings - 

 

I think it will be a "non-issue" -

 

Because the frame is a "hoop" style and not a 3-rail system - 

 

But you never know -  

Now I need to piece together the batting -

 

While I wait impatiently for my new machine and frame - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
