I ran a piece of blue painter's tape along the edge with that outer seam and when it was almost set up, cut a narrow strip off. I still needed to feather a little bit but it was easier than doing it with the outer seam still on. A bit more work, but not so bad.

: Thanks Rob, yes the tape is 3" wide, I failed to mention that. Do you
: use a bias cut strip that you cut yourself for the outside or have you
: found a tape that goes clear for the outer seam? I hate dealing with the
: loose strands on cut cloth but most of the tape I have seen doesn't wet
: out clear on the strand that hems the tape.
