“Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Thanks for the information and the clarification.
[[so the ribbon is folded and on both sides of the fabric? isn't this basically the same as an edge binding? ]]
No. The ribbon is not folded. It lies flat on one side of the fabric. The raw edge of the fabric is folded under itself and is therefore concealed under the ribbon.
ok, i see. i misunderstood

Dutch,
You got it. I use either 3/8 or 5/8, depending on the size of the tarp. But 5/8 is just generally easier to work with. I also use 5/8 grossgrain for the pull-out loops. It hasn't failed even with high use.
Spock this is a great idea. I understand the how this would heelp with drying. If the gg is folded it would act as a gutter. You still get the strength and the even tension of the gg and I think it would be easier to sew and lighter. I always have a tought time hitting both sides of the gg. If I were to makae a tarp I would definately try this. I need another tarp like I need a hole...
Even if ou tieout did start to wear you can easily replace it.
