How the calculation works
Each piece is cut 1 cm larger on every edge, so its width and its length each grow by 2 cm.
A worked example: Tablecloth, 140 × 220 cm · 56 × 84 in
- Fabric width
- 150 cm
- Seam allowance per edge
- 1 cm
- Usable fabric width
- 150 cm
- Top × 1 — Width: 140 cm + 2 × 1 cm = 142 cm · Length: 220 cm + 2 × 1 cm = 222 cm
Where each piece sits on the fabric
- Top: 142 cm × 222 cm — x 0 cm · y 0 cm
x: distance from the fabric edge · y: distance along the fabric length
- Required
- 222 cm · 2.22 m · 2.43 yd
- Unused fabric area (%)
- 5.3
A worked example: Tablecloth, 140 × 220 cm · 56 × 84 in (Inches)
- Fabric width
- 60 in
- Seam allowance per edge
- 0.5 in
- Usable fabric width
- 60 in
- Top × 1 — Width: 56 in + 2 × 0.5 in = 57 in · Length: 84 in + 2 × 0.5 in = 85 in
- Required
- 85 in · 2.16 m · 2.36 yd
Length needed for each template size and fabric width
- 130 × 180 cm · 52 × 70 in: 110 cm → — · 140 cm → 182 cm · 150 cm → 182 cm
- 140 × 220 cm · 56 × 84 in: 110 cm → — · 140 cm → — · 150 cm → 222 cm
- 140 × 260 cm · 56 × 102 in: 110 cm → — · 140 cm → — · 150 cm → 262 cm
Top: 132 cm wide with seam allowance, wider than the 110 cm fabric.
Top: 142 cm wide with seam allowance, wider than the 140 cm fabric.
- 130 × 180 cm · 52 × 70 in: 44 in → — · 54 in → 71 in · 60 in → 71 in
- 140 × 220 cm · 56 × 84 in: 44 in → — · 54 in → — · 60 in → 85 in
- 140 × 260 cm · 56 × 102 in: 44 in → — · 54 in → — · 60 in → 103 in
Top: 53 in wide with seam allowance, wider than the 44 in fabric.
Top: 57 in wide with seam allowance, wider than the 54 in fabric.
Template sizes and pieces
Measurements do not include seam allowance. The calculator adds it to each edge.
