Thanks guys. When I went to cut off the excess material I accidently cut between the under-apron and the first under-pleat instead of after the under-apron. I sewed the two pieces together with a single straight stitch. Guess wheat happened in the wash? The flergin seam separated and frayed on both raw ends. Now I'm wondering if I should try to match the frayed ends or go with a sewn tape join.

Hey, it's your first X...mistakes are going to be made. I learned to be an expert seam ripper with my first few. DON'T QUIT NOW - we need more addicts!
