Hi! Please help! Fabric question |
|
I am hanging a cloth "wall" and would like to know any suggestions for sizing it after it has been hung.
It has sort of a slack jaw feel even after tightening and stapling. I would appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks for letting me drop in for the advice! :hi:

1. instead of stapling it to the walls, use liquid starch.... |
|
I found this link...I haven't tried this technique, but heard about it from my sister-in-law. http://www.ehow.com/how_2248576_wallpaper-fabric.html

2. now that is very cool and |
|
I'm remembering that. I'm creating a wall with the fabric. There is nothing behind it. It hangs on a bamboo rod and I stapled it to the "floor". I spent some time researching last night, and I found faultless spray sizing. I'm trying that first. Keep your fingers crossed. Thanks!

3. you can soak it in a starch/water solution |
|
then iron it dry., it should be stiffer. Or if the other side of your fabric "wall" is not going to be seen, you can fuse it to a stiff interfacing, Or, you can underline it with canvas.
