Ticket 18627 When you measure your pillow form do you add the 1/2” to all four sides for the seam allowance or just use the use the exact measurements of the form itself to create a tighter fit?
Dear Laura,
Thank you for your patience. In regards to your question-
This actually comes down to personal preference. I like to use exact measurements for a tighter fit, however I believe our instructor adds the seam allowance to all sides.
Cheers,
