Step 3Staple the batting to the board
When you have the batting and fabric set, flip everything over.
I started stapling from one long side in the middle working out to 1/4 from the corners. Then I stretched the fabric and stapled in the same way on the other long side.
Stretch the fabric slightly in the middle of the short side and staple almost to the corners. Fix all the bunched up fabric in the corners and finish that end.
Stretch the fabric at the middle of the other short side and work your way out. Finish the corners like in the other end.
Now repeat on the other panel so that you have two identical fabric covered panels.
TIP: Make sure batting is small enough so that it does not come to the backside of the panel. It was hard to drill holes for the screws with the batting getting tangled up in the drillbit.
