With loosely woven fabrics, you often use a larger seam allowance because the more open weave can cause it to pull apart at the seams. 1/2" vs. 1/4". Also, Osnaburg can often shrink a lot putting stress on the seams. Having stated both of these, however, heavy quilting should help stabilize the fabric.
