Quilt Calculation

A quilt, in our sense, is a blanket with two-, three- or four-sided overhang drops.

The basic design is as you can see in the following pictures:

2-sided drop Fig. 1: 2-sided drop 3-sided drop Fig. 2: 3-sided drop 2) 4-sided drop Fig. 3: 4-sided drop

You should first select how many pages the drop should be.
You can do this every time you press “2nd” + “Drop”,
it jumps from '3-sided' → '4-sided' → '2-sided' → '3-sided' …

Calculate the Yardage

Before you start the calculation, you should check the following basic settings and reset them if necessary.

  1. Seam Width
  2. Binding Cut Width
  3. Backing plus Width
  4. Fabric Width and
  5. Fabric Selvage of the actual fabric (see Fabric Default Values)
  6. Corner Setting (mitered or straight corners, see Preference Settings)

To calculate the yardage, you must enter all the relevant values ​​for the quilt. These are:

  1. Top Width
  2. Top Length
  3. Border Width
  4. Drop Width
