I can get them made whenever, so if you need to wait until the new year, then that is possible. I am waiting a little while (wasn't giving up on it right away) probably until the new year to see who wants. The only thing with waiting is the cost goes up each year at my HK factory unless you have purchased it before, so the price might go up.

  I have a question. Do you think that the circles should be moved a little closer to the edge of the piping?

The circles should be 1/8" from the edge

how do they measure in your sample?

remember also that there will be stitching on the edges, so that might make it only appear like it's not close enough to the edge, in your unstiched sample

Mne is an 1/8", and I was just looking @ the upclose of the piping stitched and you are right. I just want to get it right.

whats funny is I have customers that give me revisions like that. I think I have it right and they will move to the correct place when sewn. Remember we do need sew space.

Since it looks like there was estimate on the side of caution as it were, does any one have any extras lying about? I only need about 6 feet or so... thanks

No longer work for that company. Sorry or I would order it for you. I have lost my connections for piping and patches.  :(

Are these measurements still the recommended measurements to use for piping or has anyone made any revisions to these of 4nik8's?

Also is the drawing to scale?

who would dare to make revisions to my measurements?!?

What witless non-entity could even conceive of such an atrocity???

PS - drawing is in scale to itself, but no guarantee that it's the exact dimensions specified
