What I found works great and makes it a little stiffer is to find some
grosgrain ribbon and use stitchwitch in to iron it on...sometimes I do
multiple stripes of ribbon..
Hmmm - I have that great ladybug book mark Dr Brat gave me, I have the right
size book mark and I found some great ladybug ribbon the other day...

I guess using ribbon sounds like the easiest and most efficient way to
accomplish a neat back without much trouble.
Now to find the time and effort to actuallymake a few would be nice.
