Hi All, I have found fabric calculators that will give me yardage needed for the blocks - but can't find one that will give me blocks plus borders or sashing - anyone know of an online site where I could find this?

Thanks

I saw the fabric calculators at my fabric store. Can't figure out how to use them. No use for me.

This one will give you yardage for borders and backing. Just plug your sashing measurements in as rectangles and you'll get the yardage for that as well. http://vrya.net/quilt/classic.php

I just buy lots and then I don't have to calculate! LOL :)

MerryJ; I have the Quilter's Fabricalc. It does sashing ,borders, blocks; diamonds, ect..... I will sell it to you real cheap. It takes longer to figure out how to use it , than to just figure it in my head. Elaine

That is what I do also... LOL so I have a HUGE fabric stash :wink:

Love that answer Shadow. That's how we build our stash.

I have one and have had for a couple of years don't know how to use it so I agree with Shadow that way I know I have enought and then some. LOL

I suppose I am lucky. As drafter by trade (in a previous life) I calculate the fabric needs and add a yard or two. lol

That's the way I feel. If I had one, hubby would be calculating how much I ACTUALLY needed, then I wouldn't be able to buy extra.

Hi MerryJ... I am the quilter behind the Quilter's Fabricalc and I agree a user guide is sometimes difficult to understand. I have a 12 minute tutorial that you can watch posted on my website www.nutshellconcepts.com or at www.calculated.com. I am available to all quilters that are in need of help. My goal is to help everyone love my calculator as much as I do.

Keep in touch Susie
