I made the Fancy Cross, but it did not dry well. Did I not pull it tight enough? I’ve thought about putting something heavy on the cross lengths to flatten them while drying. Any thoughts?
That is an issue with palm constructions. They do undergo a 'transformation' when they dry. Some folds do seem to handle the shrinkage better than others. Pressing them in or under a book should help to keep them from curling up so much.
