I use a Smartphone and wanted to share a very helpful ap I found to determine fabric yardage. I often create my own quilts without even a pattern and am often left to geuss how much backing or binding I will need to finish it. Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Quilters Paradise teamed up to create: QuiltingCalc.
There are a variety of subject areas to choose from as you can see below:
I have only used this to determine my backing, batting and binding but can
tell you it has taken the guess work on determining how much fabric I need to finish a quilt.
You simple input your width of fabric being used, then unput width and length of your quilt top:
Finally, press "calculate" and you'll be told how much yardage you will need.
I love it and just wanted to share a helpful ap with anyone of you who might have a Smartphone and might find yourself always guessing at how much backing, batting and binding you will need.
