Hello fellow band mates! I’ve completed the new band draft following the Mike Maldonado drafting instructions. When I started this thread, I was trying to figure out how to get a parallel CF and CB band draft. All the other patterns I’d seen, the CF is angled. Well, here’s the results!

TOOLS
Freezer Paper
The best pattern paper. Iron on a wool setting and it sticks to fabric. Reusable, durable, and transparent enough for tracing.
Tracing Wheel
Spokes aren't too sharp and it works well to trace a temporary line on fabric or paper.
Wavy Rotary Blade
Use in place of pinking shears, quickly trim outside edges of circles.
