It holds the fabric in place; however, if you're bent on using a carboard-like material, try using cork. Good luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1963 Riviera Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 My upholsterer says he will be using a plastic strip similar to thin kitchen chopping boards.....food for thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Follow Nick's lead. Go to an upholstery shop and buy from them what they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
