First: I added a center fold line Second: I cut along the fold lines and sewed them back together using a bridge stitch (univerisal stitch on my burnina) two straight-one horizontal stitch. I found the jig layed flat so i was able to easily place the fabric in with out to much finessing,folding was easy and crisp. I borrowed the idea of stitching folding cards from a Carol Duvall Show to work with my jigs. I wish I had known about jigs when I was working in a DE curtain shop. I was pressing acres of hems. Some curtain fabric tends to be spongey. Im sure a folding jig would have saved the day and cut time in half. laura peace Hi Kathleen,
