Yes how it was washed by chemicals solvents ? dried by heat ( hot air !  The central design of trellies is a perfect circle so I accept that it was round be sure about the canvas material - be sure it is not a plastic canvas in China it is made of hemp canvas for rugs (stiffer than linen). after you are sure it is hemp cut the stitches of the folded border (first take away the backing if there is one) design a round circle on a piece of flat wood bigger than the size of 140x140 cm(you can cover by plastic the wood surface) and prepare lots of small nails(2 cm is okay) and a hammer now nail the rug face down (it is very flexible, after you are done,wet the back of the rug and wait til it is dry try to nail the border of the design close to the line of the circle( you can easiley find the size of the diameter of the original round rug) count from the center of trellies 10 mesh=one inch then sew the border and it is a perfect circle! good luck jam |
