I also would think that the fabric should be trimmed back to just barely wrap over the edge of the plate to keep the fabric away from the wiring.

Thanks for posting. I really like this, never thought of it. Think I'll try it soon. Those designer plates are EXPENSIVE and probably it's easier to find fabric to personalize them. (certainly more choices)
