Ron, It depends on how wide your column is. A 2.0 should cover it but you could get away less on a narrower column. I like place a short (10pt) walk stitch about 5 pts in from the edge and it helps precut the foam. Leaves less fuzziness when your done. Also cap off any ends that don't come to a point to keep the foam from popping out.

I have mid level design shop can anyone give a suggestion for the density setting? I thought it might be easier to get some suggestions to narrow the trial and error process. I am thinking 2 but what do you think, Thanks in advance, Ron Vinyard Body Cover / Magic Stitches 1-888-435-0176 541-471-1504 Fax 541-471-0427 420 SW H Street, Grants Pass, OR 97526-2532 info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.bodycoverdesign.com
