"Okay now we have our line down the center and we're going to go ahead and put it under the sewing machine. Oh, but I'm noticing I don't like how it's centered, so I'm going to move it just a little. It won't matter because the lines already on there. And, I'm going to go ahead and put it under here. Once again, using the presser foot as a guide. I'm keeping my line to the left of it. Make sure you start at the top and I sometimes have double lines when I draw them because I'll draw a line and realize that I'm getting off center, but as long as you can remember which one is the center line, that will be just fine. Then go ahead and sew it on the other side. Actually I do enough of these now that I don't usually draw the line on. I can kind of eyeball it, but it's good to have it on there if you're not used to it. When you're done, it will be like that and you'll have your two pieces and you can see it like that."
