Can I cheat?

I feel almost bad thinking of doing this. I need 15" of Insul-bright. Well, I cut it and guess I somehow did it crooked because one end is 14". Can I just add the extra inch or should I just cut a new piece? I'll be covering it with fabric anyways, which is why I'm considering doing it.  And it's going to be layered with another piece of insul-bright and fabric.

    I'm not positive what Insul-bright is, but I've done it a couple of times with interfacing and quilt batting. Can't tell at all.

  • Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it, especially is it has another layer of insul-brite...you'll be fine.

    s/o piecing together quilt batting, if you don't want an obvious seam or ridge that you can feel in the finished product, this method for piecing batting might be how you want to piece it. Then again, if it's only an inch...
