Now run a pencil along the monofilament. Shold produce a nice gentle

Nice idea. Ran to the shop and tried it, coupla nails & scrap. You don't
get repeatability with this; have to draw one apron piece and cut both
together. Had a spool of 10# laying around the shop; heavier might resist
the pencil better. The stuff stretches (the whole point), and how hard you
push against it changes the curve.

Definitely a technique for the eyeball-it folks. The analytical types
might want to stick to the other methods.
