YardageWise is being built for quilters who need to understand an estimate before they buy fabric. We do not present an unreviewed formula as a purchase instruction.
Our guides explain planning inputs such as finished size, usable fabric width, allowance, panels and joins. They are educational and should be used alongside a pattern’s instructions and the quilter’s own judgement.
Before a calculator gives a purchase recommendation, it needs documented cases across fabric widths, quilt sizes and panel orientations, followed by review from experienced quilters. The public result must show its inputs and cut-plan assumptions.
If a guide is unclear or a planning assumption is missing, contact us through Support. We will correct material issues and date substantive revisions so readers can see what changed.
