Sheridan Belt Beveling Order

[Widget]

Hi all,

I had posted a bit back about the order of operations concerning a belt, and with your feedback, have given it a start. Today I didn't do anything other than cut in the border and transfer the pattern to the belt.

In this type of design, where does the beveling of the border come in? In other words, do I bevel the border next, then do the knife work on the design and bevel that? Or do I cut the design, then bevel the border and design? Or does it not relaly matter? :-)

Here's a small pic of the transferred design. Thanks for any help you might offer.

Regardless of style, you should cut first, starting with the foremost items (remembering to cut the foremost items lighter since they're closer), then bevel in the same order - starting with the foremost items.

Hey Renee! Small world...if you ever see a 40 year old guy riding around town on a red bicycle, that's me! :-)

You cut everything first.

Likely does not really matter, but that is not Sheridan, it is Western Floral
