This bind is a fairly easy to sew. The most difficult aspect is the punching holes. If you place them together as closely as I have (.125 in/3.5 mm), be VERY careful about how you punch the holes. Also when you sew, do not pull very tightly, or you’ll rip an unintended hole.

**for an even easier variation (v-neck tshirts), ignore stations 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, and 28. Also, reverse all directionality (enter becomes exit, and vice versa) except for at 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29.**
