| The display below shows how the outputs from a fabric calculation would be shown. The example shows a calculation using Imperial measurements but the same outputs are displayed should you have wished to use Metric measurements (of course the outputs would also be in Metric).

Imperial Fabric Estimation |
||
Track Width Used was |
98 Inches | This displays the track width which was input by the user. |
Fabric Width Used was |
54 Inches | This displays the width of the fabric which was input by the user. |
Fullness Ratio Used was |
2 | This displays the fullness ratio which was input by the user. Should you wish to perform a calculation for a flat blind or bedspread (or any non pleated soft furnishing) then a fullness ratio of 1 would be used. |
Finished Length Used
was |
67 Inches | This displays the finished length which was input by the user. |
Total Hem Allowance Used
was |
8 Inches | This displays the total Top and Bottom hem allowance which was input by the user. |
Pattern Repeat Used was |
15.5 Inches | This displays the pattern repeat of the fabric which was input by the user. If a plain fabric had been used a value of 0 would have been input. |
Price per Yard used
was |
£15.99 | This displays the price per Yard of the fabric which was input by the user. This is a optional input. For those who like to work in Imperial measurements but who purchase fabric in Metres the "Price per Metre" can be input. |
Fabric Required
|
||
310 |
Inches | This displays the amount of fabric, in inches, you will need to purchase based on the inputs which you supplied as illustrated above. |
8.7 |
Yards | This displays the amount of fabric, in yards, you will need to purchase based on the inputs which you supplied as illustrated above. This number is rounded up to the nearest 0.1 of a yard. |
7.9 |
Metres | This displays the amount of fabric, in metres, you will need to purchase based on the inputs which you supplied as illustrated above. This output was added for those who like to do their measurements in Imperial (inches) but purchase their fabric in Metres. This number is rounded up to the nearest 0.1 of a metre. |
Number of Drops
|
||
3.63 |
Calculated | This displays the calculated number of drops (widths) of fabric which would need to be cut. |
4 |
Cut | This displays the actual number of drops (widths) of fabric which need to be cut. Note that this value is the "Calculated Number of Drops" rounded up to the next whole number. |
Patterns per
Drop |
||
4.84 |
Calculated | This displays the calculated number of patterns which would need to be cut in each drop of fabric. |
5 |
Cut | This displays the actual number of patterns which would need to cut in each drop of fabric so the pattern can be matched across all widths. Note that this value is the "Calculated Patterns per Drop" rounded up to the next whole number. |
Cost of Fabric
for this Estimation |
|
£139.11 |
This displays the total cost of the fabric required for the calculation. This display can be configured to display G.B. Pounds, Dollars or Euros. If when doing the initial calculation you did not enter a price for the fabric then this display area will be blank. |
