GaryMinor Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I've just finished painting my Mess About 15, and am ready to apply the brass strip over the stem and stern. I now realize that the roll stitching will be a problem. At first I thought that I could flatten the fabric and lay the strip over the seam. Now that it is painted, that doesn't look like that will work. I can either leave the roll stitching exposed and start the brass strip below it, or I could remove the roll stitching and do some different (flatter) stitching. If I keep just the first pass flat stitching, and trim the excess to just 1/4 ", I could lay the fabric back on itself and use staples to help hold the fabric to the wood. A bit of paint may seal it. Then the brass strip would lay flat against the stapled fabric. Is this reasonable or is there a better way? Gary in Wake Forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
