Quilting Take up?
How much take up is there with average quilting? I ammaking a cover for a piece of electronic equipment and have worked out the sizeI need once it is quilted and ready to be sewn. I need to cut the quilted piece11" by 17" (and another couple of pieces about 6" square for thesides) How much bigger should I make them to allow for the take up of thequilting stitches, so that after the quilting I will have enough to cut them tothe size I need. Would 1 1/2" bigger on all edges be enough? ........ (I asked this a few minutes ago but I must have put it in a visitor section, my first go at asking anything...anyway it didn't turn up so here's another go at it......., thanks)
