			<description><![CDATA[I'm a longarm quilter and ask for not less than 3" extra per side, ideally 4" extra per side, what you recommend for home quilters. The industry standard seems to be 4" extra per side. Your diagram says 3" extra per side. I find that 6" per side will flop around because there is no quilt in that area, causing me to pin them.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thank you so very much for writing that if you are sending your quilt to a longarmer add six inches to all sides of your quilt top when calculating your backing fabric. As a longarmer I really need the extra fabric in order to keep the tension and still freely move the machine across the quilt. Nothing worse than hitting the clamp and causing wasted time having to un-stitch.]]></description>
