CWR Report post Posted February 21, 2010 Cody, The pattern for saddle 1 in the encyclopedias should work. You may have to expand it some. I am working on a full association right now. I used that pattern and added an inch to both sides. I pulled the first cover because I wasn't satisfied but the pattern worked fine. Good luck, CW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
