    Terry,
    that looks good, can I ask how you get such a symetrical pattern by hand? Do you mark out before you start, and if you do, how much of the design do you mark?

    i dont mark out much of the design
    i do draw light horizontal and vertical
    lines as i go so that it all balances

    the design in striping is something that takes its own course
    you add a bit here and there as you go along

    If it dont look right ,wipe it back and just start again

    Great work Terry, good to see some pinstriping. I’ve done a bit myself, I’ll post it for you to take a look.

    Lovely colors too, I might add.
    I always get a kick out of folks who have never seen a pinstriper at work asking about symmetry.
    Pinstriping is an art form in itself, and can never be done properly by anything else than the human hand.
    It is something that I wish I was good at.
    Love….Jill
