I got a bias tape maker and it shows the directions in mm and I do not have a ruler with mm to see how many inches that it is. Anyone know how to do the math on this or know where I can get a conversion chart.

there are tons of metric conversion tools on the web, or, you can multiply your mm's by 0.03937 and this will give you inche

I knew you guys would have an answer. Now I have another question, so if 12mm is 0.47 inches would that be 1/2 an inch? Because 25mm is 0.98 (1 inch) right?

Hay Boxer Mom-yours are beautiful! We have one (Rocky), my son (who lives with us) has one (Tank), my sister has one (Max), and my nephew has one (Spike). Needless to say, we LOVE them! Off topic, but just had to post!! Actually, I don't need to comment on your question because many have already answered! What are your Boxer's names??

My male is Tucker, my female is Ruby Lu. They have had 2 litters (6 in the 1st and 10 in her 2nd). Out of the 2nd litter we will be able to see 4 of them because DH parents have Jake and SIL have Aspen, I have a friend who has Blue and his twin Sadie Rose sister live just one block over from him. Ruby will only have one more litter in a couple of years because I want a white one, she has had 2 white ones in each litter.

Thanks for the run-down-My avitar has my dog sort of in the pic, but I think I will change it to a pic of him as the subject and a quilt in the background!

Thank you so much. My embroidery machine has everything in centimeters. Hubby says metric system is easier, but I don't think so LOL.

Very close!

an inch = 2.54 cm, or 25.4 mm.
