    none of my rulers or yardsticks have metrics.
    I did however order 2 tape measures off ebay last night.
    they have both sides which is good because this is
    not the first time I have turned away from a pattern for not understanding.
    Thanks everyone for your help and advice

    I use a unit converter to get inches or yards, and round to nearest measure that makes sense.

    Okay, I'm confused! Why do you need to convert from one to the other to start with? Use the ruler that matches the pattern! Either inches/feet/yards or metric. Why take a chance to screwing up a conversion.

    Probably no one here cares, but a meter is 39.37 inches.
