Well, stitching went great. But finishing was a disaster. I am not a great on the sewing machine. First I cut to close to pattern. Second fabric started to unravel. All those hours wasted. Oh well, what are you going to do. Anyone else have finishing disasters?
It looks great, can you cut just outside the white border ? If you can pin it to another piece of fabric (maybe black cotton) and attach it using blanket stitch up to the white border, maybe then you could try again to stitch it. This has 2 sides doesn't it, then do the same to the back. It will end up being a slightly bulkier edge but might work.
