Cloth stretch, use manufacturers recommendations?

Likewise. Would have left too much material when stretching lengthwise if I followed the DVD.

Seems like stretching it more would naturally leave more material?

How so? When stretching side-to-side, pulling farther than the recommended stretch index left less material/wrinkles over the side pockets that gets used up when stretching lengthwise later.

First table I've ever done so I'm far from being an expert or claiming that what I did was right, but it worked well for me.
