Which Do You Perfer - Quarter Inch or Scant?
I've always been fascinated by the quarter inch scant seam. I understand why it can be useful at times, but for me, I'd rather cut a scant larger and use the full quarter inch seam when possible. I see a lot of quilt patterns that use the scant quarter inch seam when cutting a scant bit bigger would allow a full quarter inch seam. I lack the understanding as to why other than to save a scant bit of fabric. Which do you prefer and why?
