Members Wicked Welts Posted January 15, 2016 Members Report Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I think you've got something to be proud of there and a great learning experience too. For me, I tend to user a ruler for everything including finding and marking centers for snaps and for utility stuff I don't fret so much over edge finishing. For snap location, I use a ruler laid down for referencing the side-to-side center line and then with a loose dome cap and eyeball engineering I get it in the right spot so I don't crowd the near edge and the stitching or whatever might have to go in that edge space. Once happy with that location, the rest is eyeballed with a ruler measurement for the near edge offset hovering over the dome cap (finding center) and a double check the for side to side center. Sounds like rocket surgery but it goes fast and the big thing is making sure I transfer my mark through all the snap help parts with a small pick asap. Then I can stamp, hack, fluff and buff with the snap punching/setting coming in whenever it's most appropriate (like BEFORE I stitch everything up - doh!).
