Hey guys. I have a quick question regarding karo step baffles. I have sewn all my baffles to one side (outer side of quilt) and I am now ready to start sewing the baffles to the inner side. I saw a diagram a while ago showing the order in which you do this but cant seem to find it now. I am wondering if someone can look at the attached diagram and see if this is the correct order of connecting them so I dont box myself out.
Any help, comments or advice is welcomed.
Thanks- Zach
Yes this is how i do it.

Your picture shows how I do mine. I also like to use Wonderclips to control the fabric and unfold only what is needed. It keeps it clean and helps avoid sewing parts that you don't want sewn underneath.

I did mine like that too. One thing to be careful about. Make sure you don't have some stray part of the bottom layer under your needle when sewing. With so many lines to stitch, it can happen if you lose focus, especially when you're in the mid section.
I probably wouldn't do it again, but I had a 1.5" piece of tape on each baffle and sewed along the edges. It meant that there was a correct end to start sewing (head or foot end). Getting that wrong meant peeling the tape off the inside of the baffles each time.

Thanks to everyone for the quick replies. I'm excited to get back at it tomorrow and wanted this cleared up first. I'm happy with how it is turning out so far and really didn't want to mess anything up at this point.
I know what you mean BCbob....I had that happen on my DIY hammock and it was certainly a pain.
