John, I'm curious about how you figure out the rough dimensions for a particular size of a finished tuft project? Looking at that booth you did, it looks like there is a LOT of shrinkage to calculate when you tuft! Just a question, you already know I'm a novice back yard guy but when I notice certain things in my soon to be "wheelhouse" I just have to ask. Thanks, Bondo.

Great question @Bondo497 . You can do some tests with scrap vinyl to under stand how much your loosing. It will change depending on how deep your pulling the buttons in. Those were pretty deep so I was loosing a lot of fabric. Honestly I think on these I was so worried about coming up short I just left it on the roll and cut it off when I was done. The big thing you have to worry about is having enough width and not going at an angle. Especially when you go around that tapered corner.
