So I took pics of two possible layouts, and sent them to her parents and asked 'which one will she like better?". They said she is more of a symmetrical gal, so I went with the one on the top. It's ready for the long-armer now. Good luck with your project! [ATTACH=CONFIG]608754[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]608753[/ATTACH]
