Finished TapestriesThe finished tapestries are folded and sewn with a 3/4 inch space so that a dowel can be used to hang them. I put in extra work to make sure that the corners are as square as possible. This is probably the best choice to send as a gift if you don't know how it will be displayed.
Unfinished TapestriesI prefer making a frame to stretch the tapestry over, and then hang the whole frame on the wall. If your going this route there's no point paying the extra money to have the finished edges. I add an extra 1 1/2 inches on each end for you to work with. This is also what you would use in the center of a quilt, for example. If you're buying one for a sewing project be aware that stars have solid backgrounds, but all other patterns continue to the edges. For more detailed framing instructions click HERE.
