What is the best way of telling whether to add to the
designated cutting size in a quilt pattern if it does not
specifically mention add 1/4 inch seam allowance?
I am making a set of placemats, I cut one and it just
does not look right, but the pattern does not say add
the 1/4 inch seam allowance.

usually if the pattern is not written with cutting measurements it will tell you to add seam allowances-
i think most patterns are written with cutting instructions-not finished size instructions.
the one that's not is the appliqued one- that the designer uses raw-edge fusable- if you wanted to needle turn you would need to add your turn under allowance.
