I am at a loss...How do you go about squaring up a octagon shape table topper.
Thanks,
this is an ufo from my beginnings and just too time spent to throw away so ...hope to finish soon.
Thanks,
Susan

I would cut a paper template one fraction smaller then the size of the table topper and then trim the topper to a even size all around.
