Boo: Thanks for your help and suggestions. This is the first time I have used the message board and what a great response I got. I am really new to quilting and sewing in general. I work at a design company and have a really great access to lots of fabric, some very high end. I am using the fabric books that companys give us for samples, as they throw them away when discontinued. I am figureing ways to get around the paper backing on the fabric. I have been going to upholstery shops and getting their end bolts,so far I have gotten two truck loads. Last night I
stiched a half inch line on the band and then cut lots of slits to the stich and then sewed the cap to the band and it works out great. I just leave a
half inch on the start open and then sew to the end and close it up and cut off the excess fabric. Seems to be working really well. Thanks for all your help. Take care: Cliff
