I chose a thin canvas-like material to start with and it didn’t work out at all. Too thin and frayed too easily. Then I switched to drop cloth (canvas), thinking that it would be perfect. But when I started sewing it, the edges would fray and unravel, meaning my sewing was quickly falling apart. The stitches wouldn’t hold the fabric together. So, I had to figure out a quick solution, find new material or scrap the project altogether.
