Prob with beading.....

MissTlingitAchievement · 09-04-2001, 01:30 PM

At least I think it is a problem.
I am beading my crown, on the fun foam. It is working really well. The only thing I find wrong is that it is curling up on me. I am going to be putting something else on the back of it to try to straighten it out, but what should I use? I am going to use elastic band to keep it on. Any suggestions?

are you fully beading it?

MissTlingitAchievement · 09-04-2001, 05:31 PM

yes I am fully beading it. Front to back, top to bottom. No part will show the fun foam. (Mainly because the fun foam is a ugly maroonish color)

back it with a double layer of posterboard or a nice thick piece of plastic and then your cloth...this should help with the curling...also check that you are not pulling your stitches too tight..that might be part of the curling.

Thank you Blackbear!
I had thought about posterboard, but wasn't sure. I was going to use another piece of funfoam, like a black color. The stitches aren't too tight, if anything they are loose. I haven't been pulling to hard.
