Sew the head between R6-10 of the body, with R8 being in the middle (I usually attach it where we fasten off, R8 and start R9 to hide the imperfection that there might be).
Sew the front finns on each side of the bottom of the body with the head in between.
Sew the back finns on each side of the bottom of the body about 5sts far from the big finns.
