The Scant Quarter Inch, What Is It?
Scant Quarter Inch
If you've attended one of my lectures on the Amazing Economy Quilt, you've heard me mention what a difference it makes when you calibrate for the perfect scant 1/4". Here are two slides from one of my presentations.
I also read a great Moda Blog that you may appreciate.

I'm new to quilting and thought "scant 1/4 inch" was only used when it was specified in the pattern.
ReplyDeleteSo reading this and the Moda blog, it is always used in piecing a quilt?
I just made my first Stepping Stone quilt. I thought I had a perfect 1/4 inch seam allowance marked on my machine, but I had to trim all my squares to 7 3/4 inches. It still turned out just fine.
I guess I need to recalibrate to a "scant 1/4 inch."
Thank you for your help!
