A Quilters Calculator App

Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Quilter's Paradise have joined forces to bring you a collection of eight essential quilting calculators for your iPhone®/iPod®. This app is free and downloadable through iTunes.

You'll be able to quickly convert between yards and inches; know how much fabric you need for backing, batting and borders; and understand how many rectangular pieces can be cut from a larger piece. There are even calculators for square in a square, set-in and corner triangles.

The complete list of calculators:

• Fabric Measurement Conversion: Converts between inches, yards in decimal form and yards in fractional form.
• Backing and Batting Calculator: Determines how much yardage from a bolt of fabric is needed to make the backing for a quilt.
• Piece Count Calculator: Shows the number of fixed-sized pieces of fabric that may be cut from a larger piece.
• Pieces to Yardage Area Calculator: Indicates how much fabric is needed in order to cut a given number of fixed sized pieces.
• Binding Calculator: Tells you the amount of fabric required to bind your quilt based on the quilt’s dimensions and the binding strip width.
• Border Calculator: Shows the amount of fabric required to create borders, based on a quilt’s dimensions and the width of the borders.
• Square in a Square Calculator: Works out all the key dimensions of a square in a square block.
• Set-in and Corner Triangle Calculator: Determines the size of the square piece you’ll need to cut in order to create both unfinished set-in triangles and unfinished corner triangles.
