Out of the Ashes - Beyond Boro (Part 2)

In  order to stabilize the compromised fabric while also keeping it supple, I chose to make a batted backing unit to top stitch onto the back of the scroll.  Here are the steps that this process required.

Scroll Laid atop Batting

Cutouts and Orientation Marked on Batting

Cut Out Circular Areas

Place Batting onto Backing

Cut the Backing to Match the Batting

Backing Fully Cut to Match Batting

 

Stitch around the Backing and Batting Unit.  

 Leave Opening to Turn Fabric Right Side Out

Clip Curves

.  Turn under Area Left Open for Turning. Pin Backing/Batting Unit to Back of Scroll

Stitch Very Close to the Edge of the Batting/Backing Unit

Free Motion Quilting Partially Completed.
