riffclown Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Day 1. Due to the Strip lengths and alignment challenges, 1.5 Perspective will always have a center panel but Here's what the kite looks like before any work is done. And a quick panel mock-up before any other work after the LE has been sewn. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 So the folds are done and the strips are in the press to set the seams. No Pics on this part. (it's kind of boring to show a roll of heavy butcher paper.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riffclown Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 One detail I'll show in this thread is how from the front the hem stitch is only one direction. From the back you see the hem stitch in both directions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
