Field notes
Each calculator has its own dimensions and material settings: fabric width, usable width, seam direction, strip width, purchase increment, or batting package size, depending on the task. The page says standard fabric starts at 40 inches of usable width and backing and batting allowances start at four inches per side; users can edit those values, with a Longarm preset set to six inches. Results are described as showing yards and meters together, rounded from the full length.
