Thank you all for the great information on hinges,!!!! I think I will try pinning them next. On the Garfield, I also tried using bias tape and its ok but not great. Next I will attempt the tyvek and see how that works....I am a little late on the 2013 spring fling kit, but its ok since I have a new granddaughter, 12/30.13 to build for now...
Thanks all for the great info.!
