The lining goes on first bringing the seam to the front and whipstitching it to the tape covered wires.
So to answer your question I get it evenly stretched over the frame sections by
WORKING those pins until I am satisfied. Most sections are cut on the bias
which helps.
This is really useful. So you sew on the lining, then the outer material?
One more question: Do you actually cut pattern pieces? Or do you
"drape" the sections, just cutting a piece of roughly the right size,
stretching it, and then trimming off the excess? The latter seems like
the easier course to me, but I haven't done this before.
I agree that glue is well, tacky.
I'm torn between an exciting new craft and not wanting to spend the
time. I don't think I'd go so far as to bead fringe. I'd look for a
beaded fringe at an upholstery/drapery supply place, or maybe a silky
fringe.
One thing I have considered is a deep household-linens type crocheted
edging, dyed to coordinate with the shade and put on fairly flat, not
ruffled to death.
