Assembly

Tip: When working with strips, there is a tendency for the fabric to bow and form an arc rather than a straight line. To help avoid this, cut the strips to lengths as directed in each section, then sew the strips together into pairs. Once the pairs are made and pressed, pin the pairs together, sew, press, repeat as needed.
