Is the 1/4" seam a must for you?
I finished a quilt top today, and spent hours snipping away at the threads from fabric fraying. I buy quilt store brand fabric, but it all frays like mad. When looking at all of my seams, I tend to get nervous about it possibly fraying just a bit too much down the road. My scant 1/4" seam (or reg. 1/4" seam) doesn't provide much of a buffer zone for fraying.
So I was considering today, that my next quilt will have "extended 1/4" seams) As long as I stay consistent with my seam, it shouldn't matter, right? I have yet to use an actual pattern, though I have bought some. I generally make a quilt that I see on Pinterest, that really speaks to me, and just figure out how it's done. Does anyone else have similar concerns and does anyone else make "extended 1/4" seams"?
