    I usually give my self a 2-3 inch margin on my fabric when I’m actually stitching and then for the pillow I trimmed my linen to a one inch margin all the way around for finishing into a pillow. I’m not sure about books on finishing but when I was teaching myself I just applied my quilting knowledge and googled and looked at others KZread videos!
