When I make a quilt - twin size for example...i decide on the finished width based on mattress size and how much hangover on the side..

BUT, when i quilt the fabric, it sucks up the top, "shrinking it", making it smaller than before i started quilting.

I hope that makes sense!!

I keep making the quilt top bigger thinking I've got enough allowance, but still keep missing the mark :oops:

SOOOOO.....my question is how much do you guys allowing for that "shrinkage"
