I guess I still do both too.Even when I stump shrink,I don't like shrinking all the way to the end of an edge.When I do it just folds over,so on the end I put one or two tucks.

I'm hoping when I get my machine done I will retire my stump Kerry.

Kerry to shrink deep into a panels stump shrinking,I vision the area I want to shrink as if it were a pie shape.Then work that pie shape starting from the point working outward towards the mouth and it usually pops out a few tucks at the end.

You gave me the advice on the pie shape at the Aprils fool meet and I have been using it ever since.

It's the same with thumbnail shrinking right?
