Hi. I am really excited about a French Bergere chair I just picked up for $30. It is so sturdy but is ugly. I am going to reupholster it in the next few weeks, but my biggest dilemma is how to finish it. I don't like braid, and I've never made double welt, but that won't be an issue. I just really like nail head. When looking at the pictures of bergeres with nail head trim, I can't tell if they use something underneath of it to hide the raw edge of fabric and staples, or if it does a good enough job itself. I've looked at tutorials and haven't found one addressing that. Thank you so much for your help.
