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?

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.
