I first make a guide by taping a vertical strip of masking tape to the work-table. Using a steel rule I draw a vertical ink line onto it. This guide will allow me to align both sails correctly.
Once the sails have been aligned properly I use Sellotape to stick on a piece of ripstop fabric which is then sewn in place. It’s a simpler method than the sleeved connecting strip.
A strip of masking tape is applied down centre of table then an ink line is drawn on top. 
Sails are then carefully aligned then taped down. 
Piece of connecting Ripstop Nylon is then taped in place. 
Joining forward and aft sails. Sew bottom section the same as above. 
Sewing connecting piece in place. Take care not to sew onto taped areas 
Connected sails as seen from front of kite.
