- Thanks so much for the compliment. I didn't back it. I've heard of it being done, but I am not sure how. I would imagine you have to whip stitch all the way around and probably make a few tacking stitches about ever;y 10 yo-yo's or so. This is more decorative than functional. It looks beatiful on a bed, or just draped on the rocking chair.
