I also thought you could use thread in the light background color and stitch a spider web pattern over the loose area. It would be subtle and hold the fabric down.<br />The wall hanging is wonderful just as-is too. I would love to show it in my home ;)Wonky Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00882803884292223106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547365863584922457.post-16814978562294152002011-10-12T08:00:39.409-07:002011-10-12T08:00:39.409-07:00I, too, would sitich between the lines.

I would probably block it first to shrink the fabric a little and then either stitch or tie.Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547365863584922457.post-8665793938953932262011-10-10T06:06:20.448-07:002011-10-10T06:06:20.448-07:00Perhaps through the vines and around the pumpkins ...Perhaps through the vines and around the pumpkins and arch and then around the bold letters?

I don't think it looks bad. If you do, you could always tack from the back in some places to hold it together. <br />Next time, you could use fusible batting and fuse the top to it, then stitch wherever you want....the fusing will hold it in place.<br /><br />You've done a beautiful job Jean https://www.blogger.com/profile/02953574832610193585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547365863584922457.post-53731862172259563152011-10-10T03:03:37.645-07:002011-10-10T03:03:37.645-07:00It is beautiful Betsy but I am sorry i have no ide...It is beautiful Betsy but I am sorry i have no idea how you could fix the center .That was a lot of stitching!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354033852499807242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8547365863584922457.post-1194656944795319442011-10-09T17:55:58.730-07:002011-10-09T17:55:58.730-07:00That is beautiful!
