WI.northern exposure Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Very good informative piece Jeff. A great addition to your tutorial videos. I will be using the 6 oz premium for my Stonefly build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirilonde Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Good stuff Jeff. As to material weight it could mean a couple of things. Some use yard weight to mean square yard, others use one yard of material at the sold width. http://fashion-incubator.com/fabric_weight_and_conversions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddn.robinson Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Great stuff Jeff! Just got my fabric last night. Is there a video showing the recommended process for sewing a skin with the premium polyester? The instructions in the build manual, to see pockets on either end and stretch fit the skin around the ends would seem geared to either nylon or the loose weave polyester fabrics. Are there changes for the preshrunk polyester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Keep reading, there is a section on Polyester in the manual and there are videos on my web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks Jeff. That sums up the information from different parts of your website very well. Will definitely help with my choice when I get to that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddn.robinson Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Jeff, I have watched the videos, and I think I understand the process. But the videos also deal with shrinking the skin on the frame. As the premium polyester is "preshrunk" are there techniques you recommend to help minimize wrinkles? After this skin is sewn do you still iron it, or should it be sewn on drum tight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
