Key Dimensions:
The shade "blank" will be {{data.widthWithFlair}} {{data.UofM}} wide and {{data.finalLength}} {{data.UofM}} long.
There is a flare near the bottom of {{data.flairAlone / 2}} {{data.UofM}} on each side.
Full width ({{data.widthWithFlair}}) continues to {{(data.segmentDepth * 2) + (.75 * data.UofMScale)}} {{data.UofM}} above unfinished bottom edge.
{{data.segmentDepth * 6 + (.75 * data.UofMScale)}} {{data.UofM}} above the unfinished bottom edge on each side measure in {{data.flairAlone2}}.
Lines from full width to these points will create the {{data.flairAlone2}} {{data.UofM}} of flare.
From here up the blank should be {{data.widthFinal}} {{data.UofM}} wide.
The depth of segment pairs (ring spacing) = {{data.segmentDepth * 2}} {{data.UofM}} .
Lift lines = {{data.liftLines}} (offset {{data.liftLineOffset}} {{data.UofM}}).
Edge allowances (left and right)= {{data.edgeAllowance}} {{data.UofM}} .
Foot seam allowance = {{.75 * data.UofMScale}} {{data.UofM}} .
Head allowance (fudge factor) = {{3 * data.UofMScale}} {{data.UofM}} .
