A few specific recommendations that make great wraps:
A "middle marker" is helpful with woven wraps to remember where the exact center of your wrap is. One common method of adding a middle marker is folding a small piece of ribbon into the hem while sewing it to make a "tag." Other methods include sewing a small flat button, drawing a design with fabric markers, or adding a very small bit of embroidery within the hem. Embroidery is not recommended within the width of the wrap as it weakens the fabric, however.
If you chose to taper the ends of your wrap, make sure the middle marker is at the center of the WRAP (measured through the middline of it's width) not at the center of one of the individual RAILS, as the middle of each rail is skewed a few inches off from center.
*Note: linen and linen blends can actually be made stiffer by over-drying. Tumble dry linen until it is just barely dry, then finish drying by steam ironing. This method also helps keep osnaburg from getting scratchy after drying.
