Well your math is above me. I just cut a strip and sew then cut the remainder off. Nice fit and I like the design on the base of your machine. Can't show that to the grand daughter since she would have to do zebra strips or pink hearts. enjoy that machine there is miles yet to sew.

I find math useful - just wish I knew more than the basic basics.

I need to make a couple of those too. You did great! I will make mine without all that math stuff. LOL. I'll hold the fabric up to the machine, measure how much I need to go over it, and how wide it needs to be. A few pins and some cutting. A nice bowl or lid for the curve... nothin' to it. The only kind of pi I want to know about has an "e" on the end and comes in a dish! :D

A beautiful cover for a beautiful machine. I am drooling over both.

I remember watching an episode of the Orange County Choppers years ago - maybe it was while they were making the Spiderman bike - Paul Jr. was talking about the process of cutting the templates - made me crack up. Same terminology, same tracing, same cutting, similar application. Just different materials and tools. It was quite amusing. If you can, post a picture. |

I go around the house tilting pictures - just to keep him on his toes. LOL |
Great job! Good looking machine as well! :)

Nice job on the cover. I like the "plywood doesn't crawl" and "plywood doesn't bend".
I always say I'm glad I don't work with wood, it doesn't stretch if it comes up a little short, like fabric does. Math - forget about it. |
