> One quick question. I started a kit two years ago, and have faithfully been working
with it off and on. I got to one of the edges (finally) and there is only about an
inch
of fabric left. I'm afraid the other edges will be the same, or worse!

All isn't quite lost if the kit maker didn't give you enough allowance on the sides.
You
can sew bands of fabric (washed muslin works very well) around the edges to make up the
deficit. Your framer will thank you. That one inch margin on your stitchery should be
more than enough to mat it once you've added the muslin strips.
