How to use this tool?
This calculator estimates the total fabric yardage needed to cut multiple pieces of a given size from a single fabric width.
- Enter the Number of Pieces you need to cut (must be 1 or more).
- Enter the Piece Width and Piece Length in inches (e.g., 36 for a 36" square).
- Enter the Fabric Width in inches (common widths: 45", 54", 60").
- Click "Calculate Fabric Needed".
The result shows the total fabric required in yards, along with a breakdown of how many pieces fit per row and how many rows are needed.
Note: All measurements must be in inches. The calculator assumes you can cut pieces side by side across the fabric width without seam allowances or pattern matching.
