Small project I started

the headliner is a PITA, the only part that ____es me off is that part where the sunroof controls are at, when i smooth it out, it forms a wrinkle...does anyone have a headliner DIY? haha i just wanna know some tips if any at all. as for that last pic, well, lets say i'm doin it again cuz there are hella imperfections on my first try

man...i'm about to give up and take my headliner to a damn shop. it looked good when i was inside the house doing it, lol. now that its inside the car, there are flaws everywhere! =X i dont think youd want me to do yours Claudia, maybe your interior pieces, those are hella easy...i wish i could say the same about the headliner...needless to say, let me show u the pix

so anywho, here are the pictures..i dont think that the flaws that came out after i installed it are anything major...i'd just have to pull it off, lay down some adhesive again, and restretch it to smooth it out. btw, those wrinkles werent there when i installed it
OUCH
damn air pocket -.-
on a scale of difficulty from 1-10 (10 being hardest), this was an 8, especially if you have no experience whatsoever, like meh :D but yea, i'll have to take it off again, pull it off, spray adhesive and restretch and smooth those air pockets and wrinkles out. for the most part it doesnt look that bad, but it doesnt look that good either
whatya guys think?

couple of questions,
did you remove the fibric that was on the headliner before you applied the red fabric
and did you work from the inside out or side to side when you glued them together.
Ive got some blue suede im going to do mine in, im just a little worried cause ive never worked with suede before. Ive wrapped several sub enclousers but carpet and vinyle are stretchable and the suede does not stretch that far, so please any trick you've learned would really help
