The miter angle between the mating panels changes along length of the seam so it is too much effort to fit the panels together with a rolling bevel. And it is impossible to balance the two panels on a sharp corner when stitching. So, just radius the mating corners. The thickened epoxy fillet and cloth tape will fill the little mating grooves or voids formed.
