Thanks, MaukaHale. That's a good idea.

I do something similar with my smaller Haitian drapeau. I use small binder clips and put tiny pieces of felt between the satin and the clip to prevent any damage to the fabric. But I've found that it doesn't work too well with the larger drapeau, as, even using multiple clips, I get too much sagging. But drapeau have layers of pretty heavy satin and a bunch of beads and sequins, which weigh them down a lot. So that may not pose a problem with the tapa.
