Adam,
Brilliant stuff! don't feel bad at all, this is a big contribution.
I think it is a sandwich arrangement with the fringe on the inside rather than on the backside as you have constructed it, but it's only my best guess of what we are seeing.
As far as tablet edging, that could be what we are seeing, although I think that it might be a tightly sewn embroidered edge as well. I just don't know.
I'm just glad we are generating this much interest.
Keep up the good work!

Quote:The bottom bit was just my ideas about using tablet woven braid (my girlfriend makes it) as an edging to simulate the binding, and also I have seen some with the binding with a funny chevron pattern on which is easy to emulate with tablet braid patterns. However if you say there is a definate edging front and back this may be no good!
