The cutting-table companion
How much backing, how many binding strips, how much fabric for the pieces you're cutting. Put in your sizes and get the yardage first, a drawing to scale, and every step of the arithmetic so you can check it. Fabric always rounds up to the next 1/8 yard.
Each one answers with the number first, then draws it to scale and shows the arithmetic.
Find a finished quilt size from your mattress, with drop and pillow tuck, drawn to scale. Then send the size to the backing and binding calculators.
How much backing fabric your quilt needs, for 42 in quilting cotton or 108 in and 120 in wide-backs, with the seam layout drawn to scale.
Strip count, binding length and yardage for straight-grain or bias binding, with the join allowance shown.
Turn a list of cut pieces into yardage, with a strip-cutting plan, shrinkage and a printable cut list.
