Rayon damask weave tablecloth, hand stitched 
To create a focal point for the third panel of the circle project, we are using a commercial product and intense heat. 
It comes in packages of about a yard and is stitched to the back of the fabric. 
The directions say to use machine stitch and a steam iron held above the cloth, but my experiment with hand stitched waves and a heat gun gave good results. 6 inches shrink to about 4 inches in all directions. 
I'm not one to use products such as misty fuze or steam a seam, but the discovery of texture magic may have changed my mind.
Ah, well.Still mourning the loss of fiber arts magazine and telos. Read Olga's comments here.
