After hemming around the tarp, I sew the grosgrain loops with linelocks /pullouts/ just in the place of the grosgrain reinforced hem. No further. It was just experiment in the beginning, but now I am convinced that the reinforcements made of fabric triangles or circles and making additional holes with needle is not necessary at all. I stitch the grosgrain loops with box stitch.
Hi Is it possible you could post a close up photo of one of these pullouts please? I cannot quite visualise it. I understand how you roll the grosgrain into the hem, but not how you are then stitching the pull out loop on.
