Default How do you "think" when it comes to fabric requirements for a project?

Because I have accumulated a fairly large stash over many years, I don't really know "how" to shop for a particular pattern.

My general way of doing something is to start "somewhere" and hope for the best.

So - If a pattern calls for precuts, and you prefer yardage, is it easy for you to "translate" precuts into yardage?

Or if a pattern calls for yardage, and you prefer precuts, is it easy for you to "translate" yardage into precuts?

I am fairly comfortable with doing "conversions/translations" - but I was wondering how you-all think when it comes to buying fabric "for a pattern" and what you want to use is not available "exactly" like the pattern states.

(Anyone having trouble understanding the question?)
