Then I machine stitched through the red line on the outside( Using red thread that matched of course),and you cannot tell at all where the stitch is.
Turned out about 22 and a half inches long in length.
Cant do this on my other Mackenzie because the stitching would show in the white stripe.Been thinking of trying to hand sew it on the inside.
Great tip; thanks!
