unhappy

Hi Michele,
Thanks! I have re-stretched it three times already!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuuu
It starts of quite nice and tight and then gradually loses that tightness. It is so humid here in Atlanta and I have this problem on occasion but not this bad. I even set it up next to a space heater but no luck.

I have been stretching my own linen for 16 years now and have NEVER come across a problem like this one. If I hadn't already started the commission and gotten so far into it I would start over.

Thanks again!
Lisa
