About 5.5" between the tack-down points.

How many cuts you can get and how many you use per diaper all depends on what fabric you're using. I did mine with 2 petals that were 2 layers of heavy bamboo, cotton, or hemp fleece each. I have also done them with 1 petal that was 2 bamboo fleece and 1 bamboo velour, and the back petal of 1 layer each of bamboo fleece and hemp fleece. If you are using cotton interlock or something different, then your layering, absorbency, etc. will all be different.Arfyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259584291946712495noreply@blogger.com
