4. Cut the edges

■ Once the silicone glue is completely dry take the following measures on the tie out points of the fly panel.

■ Accurately mark every point using chalk. Connect the points as shown in the diagram below using the cat-cut tool. Trace a clear line where the curve lays.

■ Consider now just the curves that are closer to the perimeter, those that connect point B to point B. Using the rotary cutter follow the line and cut a stripe of fabric off from the panel.

To achieve a cleaner cut you can use the cat-cut tool as a guide and glide the rotary cutter following the curve of the material.

Place the panel with the side where you glued the patches facing up. This face of the panel will be the inside.
