Judy, 

The closest to a "rule" that I've been able to work
out, is to make the strong strokes of the letter 3
bars (pattern bars) away from its neighbor.  The ideal
for Textura Quadrata in its written form was for the
space between the letters to be the same as the
thickness of the letter staves; this made the page
look "woven" of black and white bars.  This gets a
little complicated with some of the letters, because
of the way they're shaped.  What I usually do is
arrange the letters in the order for the inscription
using PatternMaker, and that allows me to scooch them
(that being the technical term) closer or further
apart as need be, before putting it to thread.
