I agree that tulle isn't necessarily bad quality, the Walmart stuff was just really bottom of the barrel. The test is definitely relevant though, I expect the noseeum to behave more or less the same,...

Hi all,

Sorry for the late response, I had a busy week. I'll cover responses in a moment, but the good news is that I did get some (preliminary) tests done on how the holes affect the strength of...

Pretty minimally. I know what it is in theory, and seeing how it was set up is what gave me confidence that I was on the right track. I've been too intimidated to do a deep dive on it though: the...

Thanks again for taking the time to reply Brian, it really helps me iron out my ideas and make sure I'm conveying things clearly.



It's true that, for small amounts of overfill, the effect is...

Hi all,

This is a remake of an earlier thread, incorporating some important new information and feedback from the community. If you read the previous post, some of this information is repeated...

Thanks again for taking the time to respond.

Welcome to part two to my series on baffles, optimization. Where my thread last week was meant to dispel some common misconceptions on shape, this thread will be (mostly) shape-agnostic, and instead...

I think we are on the same page for all of this. The only way my baffle shape is quantifiably "ideal" is that it minimizes down shifting. One can certainly use baffles wider than they are tall, and...

By triangles, I assume you mean V-shaped baffles. It has been done, and it will definitely work. Trailspace has a brief description of it and its pros and cons here, along with some other baffle...

It could be we are talking about different things. Just to be sure, I have included a diagram showing what I am talking about:

Blue is the baffle, while the dashed line is the limiting...

This is true, the only thing I said about differential cut quilts is the quick note I made at the end of section two. I ran across a version of Catsplat's spreadsheet in my research, and it included...

I recently decided to make a down quilt for myself, and was having a hard time finding resources on baffle design, even very basic things like shape. So I did my best to figure it out myself, and...
