Pieces From Your Fabric

The shop-floor question, both directions: how many pieces fit across a strip, and how many come out of the fabric you already have.

Per strip

In the app, this also gives you

  • Checks against your real stash yardage
  • Your fabric width remembered everywhere
  • Flows into a whole-project cut list

How many pieces come from a width of fabric?

Divide the usable width (fabric width minus selvages) by the cut width and round down — that is your pieces per strip. Each strip costs one cut-height of length, so the yield from any yardage is the number of whole strips times the pieces per strip. Round down at every step: a partial piece is scrap, not a piece.

The long version, with a worked example: how many pieces from a width of fabric.

There's more where that came from

In the app this reads your actual stash — pick the fabric, and it tells you if the yardage on your shelf covers the cut list.
