Quilter's Straight Binding Calculator

  • Ever been standing at the cutting table with the perfect fabric and wondered if your yardage estimate is correct? 

  • Hate doing the math? 

  • Have you wondered if you will need more fabric if you decide to use a different width binding? 

  • Want to double-check your math?

 The Quilter's Straight Binding Calculator takes the hassle out of determining how much fabric will be needed to bind your quilt. We did the math and made it easy to use. The calculators address cut strip width from 2-4 inches, and quilt perimeters from 60 to 474 inches.

The mathematical assumptions are clearly described on each calculator. All you have to do is measure the actual perimeter of your quilt and decide what strip width you will cut.

One of the great things about this calculator is that you can do some quick "what ifs" without doing the math several times. You can easily look to see what impact a different binding width will have on your yardage requirement. For example, how far will that 3/8 yard of fabric in your stash go? Is it enough to finish a UFO? What if your quilt top came out a different size than the pattern calls for? 

Carry the Quilter's Straight Binding Calculator in your purse, and you'll never have to guess about yardage again! 

Benefits:

  • Useful for quilters of all skill levels

  • Covers a large range of quilt project sizes

  • Great as a "check my math" tool 

  • Allows quilters to try out various scenarios quickly and easily – before making a fabric cut

  • Costs less than one yard of fabric 

The calculator is available in a condensed 4.5 x 6" fit-in-your-purse slide rule, printed on high quality, durable card stock. Full, easy to follow instructions are on the back of the unit.
