I thought it would look good with the logo on it so I did that this weekend. I downloaded the logo and printed it out full scale on 11″x17″ paper. One sheet was used for alignment, cut down to just the edges of the letters and line, and the other used to transfer the letter patterns to the fabric (used leftovers from the seat cushion). To simplify the stenciling process I put double-sided tape on the backside of the patterns, stuck painter’s tape to that, then stuck the painter’s tape to the fabric. The double-sided tape was too hard to get off the fabric – I learned that early in the build while doing tube seams – but painter’s tape releases from the fabric very easily. The print-out taped to the raft above the logo was just for a reference because I placed the letters individually by eye-balling them. The “K” came out a little wonky, but over all I am pretty happy with it!
