When sewing diamonds..... make sure the diamond is 1.5 times taller than the width. So if your diamond is 4 inches wide, it should be 6 inches tall. That will give you the correct ratio.

That's what we did, this way the proportions work in relation to the panels, unfortunately ours won't be seen until it's in a car but it is 'the shit', to get the same quality talk to the man who posted above!  :)

For best results they should be custom made to fit.

Do you see how the diamonds fit perfectly into the provided area? The points of the diamonds go right to the edge. This is only possible with custom stiching.

Russel, there´s a guy here in Norway who sells it by the meter, different colors etc. If you want, i can ask him where he gets the stuff.
