Im sure this info is on the forum somewhere, but I couldnt find it! Heres my question---how do you sew gosgain eding to the edge of a cat tarp? Is it just folded over and sewn to the tarp, is the tarp edge folded over first and then sewn with grosgain? Thanks for the help!

I ran a light grosgrain ribbon down the edges of my DIY Blackcat tarp. I didn't do anything fancy except iron the ribbon in half for ease of handling. From there I butted the edge of the sil up to the fold and ran a stitch about an 1/8" from the edge of the ribbon. Has held strong for the last 5 years.
