    Question on a DIY underquilt?

    I used Meteors UQ Calcs to figure out my spacing. But I got a question on the spacing for those who have already made your own. In the Clacs it refers to:

    Baffle spacing for outer fabric vs outside chamber width outer fabric


    What does the outside chamber refer to? Would this be the first baffle?

    You have 2 outside chambers - one on either side of the UQ (the outermost left and right chambers if viewed from the end). Each of these incorporates an extra width of fabric to account for the loft of the UQ. So, if your outer baffle spacing is 7", and your baffle height is 2", the outside chambers will be 9".

    The sheet also references making the inner outside baffle wider as well - but it is not needed. All the inner chambers will be the same size.
