Step 1: hoop up your stabilizer. Here is sticky stabilizer where the paper sheet has been peeled back to reveal the stickiness. You,can also sue regular tear away stabilizer. Not cutaway as I think it would make the mask less “breathable” but that is up to you. I joined my stabilizer down the middle as I only had a fairly narrow roll and was using up what I had. Worked perfectly with the built – in stickiness.
Are you happy with the mask pattern you have been using?
