i have another method for finishing off the edges of my fabric postcards. it gives it a colorful look. tutorial to follow:

i iron steam-a-seam fusible on the back of my fabric.

i then cut 3/4" strips

i cut two 6" long strips and two 4" strips

i then fold them in half lengthwise. if the fusible backing paper comes off, great...take it all off.

now go to ironing board with your postcard and butt the edge of the postcard

and iron it carefully to the front, don't burn your fingers. turn postcard over and iron to the back.
