Since trim areas do not generally receive a lot of use there should be few problems with the trim coming unglued. Good luck! Diane Hi Regina

I've been procrastinating because of the wood! I've been afraid of tearing the fabric off of it and not being able to work around the wood. Do you know what kind of glue to use? Ah! thanks!

This hides the raw edges. You could use gimp as they have done, braid, a self fabric welt or nail head trim, depending on your own personal design style. Thanks for the inquiry and would love to see a photo of your finished project. Hi Regina
