They sell really nice light cotton one which will hold it much flatter. Also at the end, you can block it out by pinning to the floor in the rectangle you want and damp ironing it - then letting it dry for a day or so. hope that helps - its great!!Nina Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14316034317827146338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244865727892186735.post-360359248225949872010-08-09T14:42:09.855-04:002010-08-09T14:42:09.855-04:00I love the way you put this together.
