Sew a Quick Catamaran Trampoline

Step 5Cutting Corners

Cutting Corners
Cut the corners of the new cloth as shown.
You're going to have to shove the rope edge into the slot in the aluminum frame, so don't end up with too many layers of cloth anywhere.
I used "pinking shears" to make a zigzag edge that unravels less. You could also melt the edge.

On second thought, don't worry about any of that, this is supposed to be a quick job, and the boat won't be worth real money regardless of what you do. It's only worth sailing, so hurry up and get to that.

Fold the edges of new cloth over the top of the old edges and sew them down. Don't sew into the old grommets, that will break a needle.
