Garth makes it sound so easy. I'm still not happy with the way I'm stretching my double-primed oil linen.

IIs there a special method for making a '"gallery wrap" canvas (where the fabric folds all the way around the edge)? Also, does anyone have a step-by-step or illustrated method of folding a great corner that doesn't involve cutting part of the (bulky) linen)?

Somebody once stretched some oil double-primed linen for me and ended up using a heat gun on the back of it to soften the ground and make the fabric more stretchable. This probably isn't good from an archieval standpoint, but it worked.
