I know you can figure it out on a regular calculator, but it is easier on the Fabric Calculator. I really like it so my regret turned into love it after learning to use it.

I also had the 9" throat machine on a frame and it was a wonderful learning experience, I still have the machine and I piece on it a lot. I now have a FQ on my frame but do not regret the smaller machine to start.

What I do regret are the rotary blade sharpeners, I have several and none of them work very well. Oh well, we live and learn. Its easier to just buy new blades.
