The edges rolled, so I had to lightly press them flat (using low heat and sprtizes of water under a smooth pillowcase) in order to sew the pieces together. Before attaching the trim, I pinned it, eyeballing the measurements, and made up for any discrepancies (where there were more stitches on the dress than there were on the trim) as I went. The finishing instructions in the pattern are pretty loose. I'm finding that with finishing I just have to try things out until something works, which is why it sometimes takes so long!

The trim is sweet without being frilly. Did you block it, and if so, how? (And if not, I bow before your perfectly even stitches!) I've had mixed results with my makeshift blocking attempts.
