It works great!
I have a 77 yr old hand crochet bedspread which could
not be turned to look nice. So I made the dust ruffle in decor fabric that was elsewhere in the room.22" deep
It went down the sides a few inches allowing the cotton bedspread to fit. I had tried to get ANYONE to extend it
but every lady said it was too perfect for them to work on.
I didn't make it but the color was like tea dye so easy to find color . Only problem was when you pulled back the covers at night the bottom part of bed showed above th floor.So, I covered the box springs. But, I really value this crochet work because it took 5 yrs to make.
