It is safer to perceive the insertion angle by simply inserting the tool once in the
profile without the fabric. Then remove it, place the fabric over the profile and
insert it inside.

Note:
• Before inserting the fabric in the profile groove, apply a very slight tension.
The progressive insertion into the groove will significantly increase this tension.
• To insert the tool in the profile, start from the small straight edge, then gently
push the fabric inside the by a rotation movement along the curved edge. Once
you have reached the end of the curved edge, take the tool out of the profile
and start again.
Cut excess, leaving an edge margin of ¼”.
