first, is will regular 1.6 ripstop nylon NON calandered work with down?
second, what is the fabric yall use for the skin side of the TQ?
third, is what is a good amount of down for a TQ & UQ for a 3 season?
last, ive seen some UQ's with mesh pockets in the baffles i know they are used to control the fill from moving to much but if you use a sewn through baffle design do you really need them?
ive seen anyone from 6-14 oz of down fill. that saying my UQ & TQ are going to have to be larger because im a very wide man and still a hair over 6ft. so take that into consideration. ive looked at all the quilt diy threads on HF and watch the videos so i believe i know how im going to make just not sure how much down i will need. oh also it will be 800 fill down. also im going to do the baffles length wise.

thanks for any info
