Always begin by covering an elevator, stabilizer, or main gear to acquaint yourself with the feel of how fabric works. If the process falls into the bottomless pit the first go around, so be it. It is a small piece and you've learned not to repeat again whatever it was. This should lead you to an unexpected conclusion - read the directions before starting. When We Are Thankful Share the smile, kind word, help others to resolve their grieving moment.
Thanksgiving is just that - giving with a thankful heart.
Best wishes to all of you on this a new beginning of the Holiday Season. Worry is like a rocking chair.
