The standard rule of thumb for the sum of these patterns is approximately .75 inch for the length. In other words, the marked length of the MLW should be .75 inch longer than the desired finished length. Most of the shrinkage is in the ripcord pocket and the leg strap junction. If the rigger has not done this operation before, he or she may want to build a sample MLW to check the measurements and the resultant shrinkage. 

9. Sew the Velcro ® in place for the ripcord pocket. [Figure H]

10. Glue the chest strap in place. In this instance, do not forget the housing loop. 

11. Using the single needle, pre-sew the front and rear main lift webs. Use of the sewing pattern in Figure I accomplishes this and at the same time creates the ripcord pocket. Sew the chest strap 3-point W-W with the harness machine. [Figure J] 

12. Reassemble the upper diagonal back strap and the 3-ring hardware by threading the rear riser through the large ring followed by the front riser.

13. Position the 3-ring at the mark on the main lift web and glue in place. Install the Type-12 confluence wrap below the 3-ring and mark the 4-point W-W pattern. [Figure K] 

14. Sew the confluence wrap with the harness machine. [Figure L] 

15. Re-create the leg junction. Glue the upper leg strap in place first and then the horizontal back strap second. [Figure M]
