If you’re cooking it would be heaping. But a heaping seam allowance just doesn’t seem right. LikeLike
My first thought was fat …but then if you were saying use a fat 1/4 you’d confuse us all :D:D Generous sounds good LikeLike
I also thought generous, but wondered about the context. I’d love to know how you’re going to use it. LikeLike
English is my second language so I’ll go with the dictionary definition: scant = meager ? The opposity would be plenty, maybe? LikeLike
Let’s see…I have a “heaping” rear-end? How about an “ample” posterior end? “Fat” always works, but doesn’t sound as pleasant as “generous” rear-end. Finally, I like “plentiful” for describing a generous bosom. LikeLike
Generous?

I agree with Melody:
“Use a generous 1/4 inch seam allowance.”
