• We are going to make our Curves .25” so this may reduce our initial size by .25” as noted below.

  • To make the Curve Inwards, the Bottom Layer is the correct size for the Opening.

  • To make the Curve Outwards, the Bottom layer is smaller than the opening size by the Reveal Width.

• These instructions will show making the Curve Inwards.

Adjust the Reveal to be the distance the curves will be made; we chose .25.
