  1. Use the [pb_glossary id=\"506\"]elbow rule[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong> (# of pcs \u00d7 2 \u2212 2) to find the number of [pb_glossary id=\"488\"]gores[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong>.

  2. Use the angle of the elbow divided by the number of gores to find the [pb_glossary id=\"485\"]miter[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong> angle. In our case, 90\u00b0 \u00f7 6 = 15\u00b0<\/strong>.\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t

    1. Draw an [pb_glossary id=\"499\"]elevation view[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong>, complete with the miter line.\r\n\"\"<\/li>\r\n \t
    2. Draw a profile below (see Divide a Circle Into 12 Equal Parts<\/a>) and label it.\"\"<\/li>\r\n \t
    3. Project the [pb_glossary id=\"478\"]profile[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong> divisions up into the elevation view.\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t
    4. Draw the [pb_glossary id=\"479\"]stretch-out[\/pb_glossary] <\/strong>(6 \u00d7 Pi) directly to the right of the elevation view <\/strong>and divide it into 12 equal parts (see Divide a Line Using a Ruler on an Angle<\/a>). Label it to match the elevation view and make sure to start the labeling on centre of the gore. Add any required seam allowances outside of the stretch-out.\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t
    5. At the points where the [pb_glossary id=\"507\"]element lines[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong> cross the miter line, project them into the stretch-out.\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t
    6. Following the labeling, circle the intersection points on the stretch-out. Don't put a dot over the points, but circle around them.\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t

    8. We now need to finish the calculation for the blank size of the elbow. We already have the stretch-out<\/strong>, but we need the height.

    10. Mark the seam height of each gore vertically on the stretch-out.\r\n\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n \t
    11. To complete the elbow, trace or transfer the first gore pattern onto the blank and cut it out. Then, flip it and trace it for the rest of the gores. Do not flip left to right, only up and down and remember\u00a0that you must leave 2 seam heights (<\/b>2 gores) <\/strong>for the middle pieces. This will allow the seams to be orientated on opposing sides <\/b>and\u00a0produce the<\/strong> \u201cfish\u201d\u00a0pattern.\r\n\"\"<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nhttps:\/\/media.bccampus.ca\/id\/0_741w99xr?width=608&height=402&playerId=23449753\r\n\r\n ","rendered":"
