Attaching Bed Cloth to Framed Slate

the table.

NOTE: In determining the direction of the nap, run your
hand lightly over the surface of the cloth. If it meets
resistance, it is going against the nap.
3. Leave only enough cloth overhang at the head end and left side to permit tacking into the wood slate frame. Leave
the balance of cloth overhang at the foot end and right side.
4. Keeping the tacks in a container, tack or staple the cloth securely to the wood frame at #1 with two tacks or staples
approximately 2” apart.
5. Stretch the cloth across the table and tack or staple securely at #2 with two tacks or staples 2” apart.
