Preparing Paper Pattern (printed in black)
Pattern Protection
To protect the patterns from wetness and from tearing when removing
sticky tape, cover both sides of the sheets with 3M Magic transparent
tape or Contac® clear shelf paper before cutting apart.
The paper patterns were made with about the width of a pin separating
each pattern piece. This leaves room for the copper foil, allows
nice narrow seams to be made and still leaves room to hold the
parts on the form with pins. Cut apart on the OUTSIDE edge of
the printed lines; leave the line as you cut. Do not cut on
the dotted lines.
Check for Fit - Mark Glass Color Grain
Pin the entire paper pattern on the form and test for fit before
any glass is cut. It is easier to trim and adjust the pattern
to your way of cutting glass at this point, than to spend time
grinding later.
 
Bridging Pieces - SectionalForm™ Only
Separate the pieces that are marked with dotted lines. Do not
cut on dotted lines. Patterns with dotted lines are used to cut
out glass pieces that bridge from one sectional form to the other.
They are fitted and soldered in after all the sections are joined
together.
