    I decided to sew the perimeter. Did not look like it would hold without.
    I used an embroidery ring to hold the fabric flat and to prevent wrinkles in the seam.
    I will seam seal in the near future.

    Innovative use of the embroidery ring - I'll have to put that in my toolbox.

    If you have to buy one, choose a low model. I have to remove the presser foot + do some manually lifting to get enough clearance. It’s not a problem but annoying.

    Nice tarp! BTW the double 1/2" Beastee D on the ridge have worked fine for me.

    Good point. I just went through a huge struggle trying to sew through 3d mesh, 3/8" foam, and fabric.
