– Sides finns: attach on each side of the body opposite to each other, between R14-15. (See photos for reference)
– Back finns: we are gonna attach 2 > small finns at the back of our fish just where we f,o. the body, they will be vertically sewed one upon the other and our goal is to make it look like only one Finn so they will be very close to each other. (See photos for reference)
You can use some of the thread to sew them together before proceeding to attaching them to the body.
