with pushpins.
(b) Fold under the raw edges located
along radial seams which have four rows of stitching
and aline the folded edges with the center of the radial
seams. Secure the folded edges to the radial seams
with pushpins.
(c) Fold under the raw edges located
along radial seams which have two rows of stitching and
aline the folded edges with the outside edges of the
radial seams. Secure the folded edges to the radial
seams with pushpins.
