Threading, Sleying, & Tying On
Now you can remove the tape marker and, turning the top of the Beam
away from you, wind so the apron is wrapped once around, holding itself in
place.
Route the apron over the Rear Cloth Roller Guide, then over the Front Cloth
Roller Guide. Route the apron underneath the Cloth Beam to the front, then
back over the cloth beam towards the harnesses. Spread it out flat and
center it over the Cloth Beam and insert the metal rod into the loops at the
hem.

Now tie the ends to the metal rod. Starting from the middle, bring a first
bundle toward you over the apron rod, then around and under it. Divide it in
half and bring one half up on each side of the bundle. Use the ends to tie a
surgeon’s knot. It is the same as the first tie you make tying a shoelace,
except you loop the end through twice. This kind of knot is very good for
hold and readjusting the tension.
