    Quilt Alteration Advice Needed.

    I have a WL King Top Quilt that is way too tapered for me, I want a no taper or very minimal taper TQ. I know Marty would have been able to change this as he altered my other King TQ from snaps and drawstring to a foot box and you couldn't tell that it had been altered at all.

    I'd like to ask who would you would recommend to do some widening alterations on my top quilt. I need the foot box shortened to behind my calves instead of right behind my knees and need to make it less mummy like and more rectangular. I like to pop a leg out sometimes and feel too constrained.

    Is there anyone you can recommend or should I just get a new TQ how I want it and sell mine? I hate to get rid of any Wilderness Logics gear as it's near impossible to replace. I'd be willing to trade for something like I described. I have been looking at the HG Econ 20 as theyre the only ones that use the same style foot box that Marty did.

    Thanks in advance!

    I have decided to go with a HG Econ Burrow 20, long/wide with a sewn foot box.

    At that price point it'll probably be nearly as cheap and certainly less hassle to achieve your goal!

    I already ordered it. Dark Olive with black inner, 20 degree, long/wide and found a 15% coupon code for this weekend only so I had to decide fast. Too bad the only in stock one was a 0 degree.
