Cutting the canvas, where did I go wrong?
Hi, I seem to have done something wrong, but for the life of me: I can't find the culprit.
The questions:
1) What did I do wrong?
2) Since the canvas isn't reaching all the way down to the hem ... I'll have to order new canvas, I guess?
I have been working on "Cutting the canvas", Video 6, Ep. 4. I will try to reproduce the issue with photos:
1) Measuring the canvas by laying the forepart on it:

2) Folding the canvas, so there's the 9" edge on both sides:

9" on both sides.
3) Folding the canvas and cutting the folds:

5) Laying both halves on top of each other:

6) Putting the fore part on top of it and cut...


This can't be correct, can it?!

Hi Rory, yes, that would have worked - if this smart student of yours hadn't cut BOTH parts the wrong way.🤐 (Which is exactly why I am posting my blunders as well: Others might learn from it...before they make the same mistakes)
