4 Oblong Elbow

  1. Using the elbow rule, calculate the miter angle of the elbow

 

  1. Using trigonometry, calculate the seam height of the end gore. The seam height can be used to calculate the height of the blank size as normal

 

  1. Draw a complete elevation view of 1 end gore, complete with profiles, element lines, and labeling. An oblong can go in 2 directions, with the longer dimension either being visible in the elevation view or not. If it not visible in the elevation view, be sure to include it correctly in the profile

                                     

 

 

  1. Calculate the stretch-out and draw the blank size directly to the right of the elevation view

 

 

  1. Divide the stretch-out according to the perimeter of the gore and label accordingly. There will be straight sections and round portions.

 

 

  1. Project the element lines from the miter line to the blank size

 

 

  1. Find the corresponding points and complete the pattern
