Default Nesting Software for fabric layout

When I worked at a metal fabrication company I had a free nesting software program that helped me in sales to calculate how many pieces of sheet metal I needed to buy in order to complete a customer's order. So if a customer wanted say 200 pieces of 3' x 4 1/2' rectangles I could go to the program & calculate if it would be best to purchase 4' x 8' or 4' x 10', etc. sheets & how many I needed & it would show me the best layout on the metal. Does anyone know of a free nesting software program for fabric? It should basically be the same as the one I used for metal but was wondering if anyone uses one for fabric & what you use & how simple/complicated is the program?
