Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 2.7 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 24 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 55 %) -->

It is a slight bend: tilt the piece as you sew it on; optionally tack the inner side with 1–2 stitches drawing rounds 8 and 9 together. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
