ANGLED WING II - SEWING DETAILS
SPREADER SLEEVE OPTIONS
To make sleeves for the spreaders, #5 & #6, near the ends of both
wings, you could either:
A) Sew panels in place over Panel B.
or
B) Use the natural fold created when joining separate pieces of
fabric together when using a folded butt joint seam.
SEWN PANELS
Step #1: Add reenforcement patches. Spray mount material to hold
in place or use adhesive backed fabric & then sew in place.
Step #2: Sew in place ripstop loops.
Step #3: Cut sleeve panels, fold top/ bottom for hemming & sew
these edges,
Step #4: Fold sides and hold in position with spray mount.
Step #5: Position on Panel B and finish with straight & zig zag
stitches.
FOLDED FABRIC JOINT
Probably would use this type joint seam either because a joint is
needed anyway with the fabric width used or you are using
diofferent fabric pieces for the graphics.
Step #1: Cut wing panels with 1 1/2" extra fabric on each
side.
Step #2: Hold adjacent panel pieces together as shown and
straight stitch together.
Step #3: Trim 1/4" off end to provide straight and uniform
pieces.
Step #4: Fold over each end of the sleeve at an angle and sew in
place. This creates a hem at the ends of the sleeve.
Step #5: Sew in place reenforcement pieces and ripstop loops.
Step #6: Fold over the top 1/4" and fold the entire sleeve
flat.
Step #7: Pulling each side flat, stitch & then zig zag stitch to
finish.
The above steps "read" complicated, but after the first time or
two, it is done a second nature.
