Carol, if we cut to the pattern and not the grain, are we creating more ravelly edges than otherwise? I am concerned strictly about wear on the quilt - I have enough fabric experience to know that garments need to hang properly which requires SOG. Would you cut to the pattern or the grain?
thank you
