And here again I don't think it pays to be stingy on the seam because once it comes out from the other side, it's never going to look the same and take care of that blue piece and go ahead and face it. It would be right side in, but this is Bactiqued material so it can actually go either way and we're going to do the same thing for the other side and that's the top row. You can go ahead and make sure all the squares seam is the right size. If you need to trim a little off, now would be a good time to do that and that is your first row."
