Step 2Cut the pins you will need
I only needed access to 7 of the 9 pins, so I only made a 7 pin connector. 8 pin would be fairly easy to do as well, but 9 pin may require some modification as it is a little recessed from the other 8.
Cut the header to the number of pins you will be using. You will need 3 sets of that length, for me, 3x7 pins.
Optional: one of the rows is just as a backing for the card. It would be possible to use just a couple of pins on the edges instead of a full row, but I didn't follow this route. The process would begin to be different around step 4, when you attach the second row of header to the first.
If you are doing a right angle connector, right angle header pins may lead to a cleaner result. I used straight pins on mine however and it worked well enough.
