To calculate the yardage for blocks, you must enter the appropriate values.
However, before doing so, check or adjust the default settings for the planned fabrics you want to use. For this, you look at the fabric default settings.
The most important values are:
| Name | Default Value | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric Width | 40” | important |
| Fabric Length | nil | optional |
| Price per unit | nil | optional |
| Selvage Edge | ½” | important |
| Seam Width | ¼” | important |
You also need to check or adjust the preference settings.
| Name | Default Value | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Corner | Miter corner ⟀ | important |
| Sashing | Sashing+ border | important |
| Currency | dollar $ | optional |
If you have set everything correctly, we can start by entering the block data.
