Each method page explains one formula in depth and lists the calculators that use it.
Methods and formulas
- Quilt backing: panels, seams and overageHow quilt backing yardage is worked out: the extra around the top, the usable width of the fabric, the number of panels and which way the seams run.
- Quilt binding: strips, joins and extra lengthHow the number of binding strips is worked out: the perimeter of the quilt, the extra for corners, the length that each join uses up and the fabric to buy.
- Half square triangles and flying geese from squaresWhere the cutting sizes for half square triangles and flying geese come from, which sizes are exact and which leave room to trim, with charts for each method.
- Quilts set on point: setting triangles and sizeHow side and corner setting triangles are sized for a quilt set on point, how many squares a layout needs and how large the quilt turns out.
