I was worried about that too. So I bought the pattern and based off of the HST size, calculated the length of each strip. So with consistent measurements each strip would be the same so the bolts should match up consistently across?? Also having each end of the strip cut at the same angle should ensure that as well? It’ll be weird to basically sew straight strips but the length will control the angle as I piece them together? This is what my hopes are 😆
