The stitching of the picture is done, Woo hoo! Now I have cut up an oldish (10 years), slightly stained, but very tough bakers apron to make the bezel (frame) and back in one piece. Once again the bakers parchment pattern transfers the slightly funky rectangle of the image to what should look like one of Tedy-cam's photos.
Although it might seem like extra work to inlay the image by hand, it seemed a shame to give up any of the picture for a stitching tab. Even with relief cuts in the stitching tab that come to just over an 1/8 of an inch from the corners they still mushed out a little (rounded unexpectedly). Huh, I meant to do that. Well only about 3 more feet of tiny catch-stitches and I can start closing it up.
