fabric calculator FabriCalc

Using this convenient little tool, you will never again need to be some kind of math whiz or guess how much fabric to buy, how many strips to cut, how wide to cut your strips or how much your fabric will cost.

This calculator is so smart, it will:

store information for up to 6 different fabrics in your quilt
convert from inches to metrics and back again – now that’s something great for our overseas quilters
tell you how many blocks you can get from a specific piece of fabric
determine the yardage for corner and side triangles
estimate the cost for your fabric
and much more

From the simple to the complex, the FabriCalc takes all of the guesswork out of figuring out how much fabric you need for your quilt.

You save money, you save time, and you save the aggravation of running out of fabric.

And now the FabriCalc comes with a Step-by-Step Guide to walk you through the calculations for figuring out how much fabric to buy and how many strips to cut.
