Ladies and Gents,
I want to use a fabric to cover the flat portion of these doors. I have some thoughts on how to do that... Make the edges (the cross in the middle and the outer edges) as separate pieces that install after the fabric is laid down to pinch the fabric and stretch it at the same time. I think something like this needs to happen regardless to keep the ends of the threads from showing.
I'm not sure if glue will work between the fabric and the wood. I'm worried about the fabric loosing it's tightness over time and sagging, but also worried about glue discoloring the fabric. I want to know if there is a way to install the fabric such that it keeps it look for decades (i.e., flat and smooth, not sagging).
Anyone an upholstery expert or know one?
