I'm going to fold and sew the side edges and hem the top and bottom 
edges with a loop for a wooden or metal rod.

No rule bending with tapestries, they've been around for a very long 
time in printed, painted, or woven form (maybe others). Though I'm 
not sure how well the inkjet material will respond to the sewing 
machine, so please do report how well it works.

And to get off topic, tapestries printed on (inkjet) silk are kind of 
neat.
