Hi all,
I'm newer to hanging and DIY, but I am very inspired and grateful to everything I have learned so far. This Forum rocks and everyone here has been so generous with knowledge.
I have recently ordered 9 JCP3XLT puffers and am looking forward to trying to make my first underquilt. (I have already made Whoopies and fronkey bugnets, though I paid the cleaners to do the sewing). The coats just arrived and now I am curious as to the best method to making them. I read all 37 pages on the underquilt, but there didn't seem to be a set tutorial as to how to make this. That is not to say there wasn't loads of information; thank you for inspiration Deerfu, HB, and everyone else on that thread.
It seems that the original design was to sew the bottoms of two coats together, remove the arms, and close the holes. Then attach grosgrain along the edge for the suspension system. Later, HB and some others really ramped it up by detaching all the panels and resetting them to form a classic underquilt model. My 2 questions are one, is there a consensus as to which method is the most effective for warmth? And two, is there a clear set of directions to go along with the patterns of either or both of these designs?
Also, if there is another design that is more effective, please let me know. Remember, this is my first real sew project, so if the results are extremely similar, I would prefer the job that is easier to undertake
Thank you all again. I am really excited about this one. Everything people made looked amazing.
