Recovering my 9' diamond pro-am

[the2yoots]

Hey Everybody,
I have a 9' diamond pro-am that I'm looking to recover myself. I was a table mechanic for 4+ years back in the day. I've recovered 7' diamond coin ops for 15+ years. My question is, I want to avoid the stretch marks when Im stretching the bed cloth. Yes, im stretching the cloth to much, but how do you know how much to stretch it ? Ill be using simonis tournament blue, 860 HR. Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks for reading my post

He talks about it and it's called indexing the cloth. I'd highly recommend watching all his stuff before attempting it. The Simonis DVDs are good too.
