Finished the LH side and it came out just fine. They are pretty dang close when I lay them back to back. The soldering iron spot weld technique seems to have worked fine, I guess I'll see if it has any problems once I start flying the kite. Now to go back to the plan and write out the next steps in order. The grass is kind of lumpy and it's windy out so it was hard to get everything to lay flat. -
I also learned to pre-iron the cloth before I cut out the panel. This improved my whole operation greatly and the only somewhat wonky panel is the one at the top of the kite there by the pink tip. So I'm gonna have a little break and start sewing the other side. What is the best way to "end a stitch" at the edge of a panel, but inside the area where there won't be any edging? That is to say I have gotten to the end and then done a couple reverse stitches and then just cut the thread.. maybe a drop of glue on each?

Yes I think I have logged one hour on the sewing machine so far.. It's not great, but really not too bad. I can definitely improve as I go but I'm surprised it came out in the appropriate general shape and dimensions! I will need to see if the 30 weight thread helps the tension issue.

Since you said you are not very good at sewing you are going to make lots of mistakes so just don't be too concerned with looks. Have fun and you will learn alot to apply hopefully to your next creation. Keep tension issue on your mind and look at back of seam alot as you go.
