I've never had this problem with a piece of fabric before, and didn't know if it would be worth continuing or if I should start over again on a different piece of fabric. Right now I'm not happy with the border either. It looks too big now.

Tack or lace to a mat board that is absolutely square and tighten where you need. Years ago, I used to find that some fabrics - calicos and others - would be off square. So I learned to have a friend help me = we would pull hard on opposite corners and then the fabric could be pulled back into shape.<br /><br />Deb in Idaho<br /><br />www.temptingtangles.com/<br />Antique-Style Cross Stitch and Needle Point Designs<br />www.etsy.com/shop/TemptingTangles<br />www.temptingtanglesblog.blogspot.com/Deborah at Tempting Tangleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459092643094807962noreply@blogger.com
