Working in Centimetres
Whilst on holiday in Bruges, I bought a kit to make a Spring Sampler. When I got home and opened the box, I discovered the instructions were written in Flemish. A friend translated them for me but unless you were experienced in patchwork and applique, you would be struggling as they are very basic.
Are there any European members who could tell me what measurement of seam allowance is used with centimetres? All
the instructions say is "add seam allowance" which is not very helpful.
Many thanks, Helen (Forsyth)Tags: None

There are others who can probably confirm this better than I, since (a) I am in UK and (b) I think in inches. I suspect that they use 1 centimetre which is very close to 3/8".
But I don't actually know, what I do know is that continual 'mathematical' conversion back and forth will truly mess you up! If I have to I refer to a tape measure to get my conversion.

I found out that the US so dominates the quilting industry that a lot of times they use inches instead of centimeters in Europe! So it probably doesn't matter what you use, so long as you a) convert everything correctly and b) don't mix inches and centimeters. (That is why one of the Mars landers crashed! But for you it wouldn't be quite so devastating.)

dear locham, i give you an advice dont do the translation to " because it doesnt work (been there,done that and cry my eyes and hart out)
or do it in cm, or do it in inches but round it to the nearest round cifer, and then you need to do a sampler so you can see how other blocks feet or not.
good luck.
cheers

I agree with Lorchen that you should follow whatever measurement gives you the accuracy for the pattern. When I digitize, I always measure in mm because it is so much more accurate than inches. I truly am a believer that the U.S. should have switched over like they said they were going to when I was in grade school.
