no, If you are were ordering "1" yard you would put a "1" in the box!

THANK YOU, you are so helpful.

Thanks so much! I'm ok with the fractions but not the decimals so this will come in very handy

Do you know the correct fractions you can use to order just that amount? Here you go..your very own handy dandy chart of fractions done in Decimals. Fabric is usually purchased "by the yard", 36 inches, or a fraction of a yard. Fabric is traditionally manufactured in 44" widths; however, recently some manufacturers have shortened that to 42". These measurements explain what the length of the fabric cut is when you buy a fraction of a yard. 1/8yd = .125 = 4.5" 1/4yd = .25 = 9" 3/8yd = .375 = 13.5" 1/3yd = .333 = 13.5" 1/2yd = .5 = 18" 5/8yd = .625 = 22.5" 2/3yd = .666 = 24" 3/4yd = .75 = 27" 7/8yd = .875 = 31.5 1yd = 1 = 36" hope that helps you when ordering so you are not OVER buying in these times of $$$$ crunches! |
