binding

Binding the stays tabs.  Using straight (twill) tape is nowhere near as tricky as I had imagined!  I frankly don't see that bias tape would have much advantage here.  I think the narrowness is more crucial.  Last time I used wide bias and it was a huge drag.  Somehow I thought wider = easier, but I really wasn't thinking, because if you look at the geometry it's obvious that wider = harder!

Ok, less blogging, more sewing.

I completely agree. Straight is not harder than bias and narrower is easier.

I can see how that would work. I'd love to see how it turns out!

Narrow all the way--way better in the corners!
