I’m about to load a quilt on my Longarm. My quilt top is 89 x 96. I have a queen sized Hobbs batting that measures 91 x 114, a bit bigger than the pkg states, 90 x 108. I’m torn with the decision to try and load it without adding a few inches to the width as it would result in the join being just inside the edge of the quilt edge vs. trying to go with the size and very carefully manage the batting through the quilting process adding batting to the edge only if I run out on one side or the other or both. What to do??
As as I write this, I’m thinking I should just add a piece to the side before loading, so I don’t have to worry about it. What say the pros out there?
.
Thanks
