Think you are on to something here...I did turn it once but it was still too big and I was too tired and aggravated with it to do it again so I just folded over the excess at the seam and whipped stitched it down. The circular bottom is somewhat of a problem with this one...it looked fine..I just knew it wasn't right....amidst all the bad words, my husband said just keep doing it until you get it right then take it apart and use it for a pattern, but then he never ripped stitches. He wears head phones when I'm doing something like this... Being a perfectionist is a curse sometimes...right now it's all about the pattern or future patterns that drives me to find the right adjustment formula ahead of time... I live to fight another day...LOL Thank you
