The outer layer should then measure 138cm width, with a baffle spacing of 138mm.
Once you have the UQ shell sewn, its time for sewing the end. I sew straight through with a wide zig-zag and cut off any excess material. You can add the longitudinal differential by sewing the two layers together and leaving some of the top layer to be trimmed off-I remove 15-25mm from each end of the top layer after sewing closed. I then sew grosgrain or nylon over the seam to make the channel. The other end is the same after filling with down.
Hope this helps, works for me. just my $0.02.
