remain a "no fun and not done" forever. Too too labor intensive.

A group of us put another one together for a fund raiser, and the same
thing happened - one disaster after another. The backing that is sewn
down on the front is so crooked and the stitching is so bad that I don't know what to do. Is there any way to stitch down the backing (on the
front) so that it looks nice. I am almost tempted to take all of the
stitching out and do it by hand, but the whole thing is done. I am at a
complete loss as to what to do.
