It is interesting to see how many of you don't mind the math. I have a degree in clothing and textiles and cant add without a calculator, I hate math and my father was a rocket scientist and my mother a statistician! But when it comes to fractions.. I can do them in my head! I use EQ7 and have since is was EQ3 and I let the program do the angles and geometry stuff, but when it comes to yardage, I do my own calculations.

Quilting math is not that hard and you don't need a single or double or master degree in anything to figure that one out. A cheep 10 key calculator with 4 basic functions or the Quilting Calculator or an app on your phone or tablet or computer .... doesn't matter, as long as you know what the correlation between the fraction, the dismal and the inches on the ruler are, you can figure anything out! (they make lists and charts for that, read this thread.. http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...s-t183214.html )
