Was given a scrap of expensive distressed leather that will replace fabric on a traditonal wooden chair that has a wood seat panel with cushion material and fabric. Removed the fabric and have pulled the leather carefully on the four sides and attached with staples...........any tips or even pictured instructions someone might be able to e-mail me on how to handle affixing the leather at the corners so it looks clean and not bunched with material? Look forward to any help.
