Yardage Estimator (Squares)
The chart below shows the number of squares that can be cut from yardages by first cutting strips and then squares. Yardage figures include the 1/4†seam allowance.
Size of square from 44†/ 45†wide fabrics
Yardage Estimator (Triangles)
The chart below shows the number of triangles that can be cut from yardages by first cutting strips, then squares and sub-cutting the squares diagonally one way to yield half-square triangles. Yardage figures include the 1/4†seam allowance.
Size of Triangle from 44†/ 45†wide fabrics
* to determine the cut square size for a half square triangle, add 7/8†to the finished measurement of the triangle’s short side.
Yardage Estimator (Quarter Square & Setting Triangles)
The chart below shows the number of setting triangles that can be cut from yardages by first cutting strips, then squares and sub-cutting the squares diagonally both ways to yield quarter-square triangles. Yardage figures include the 1/4†seam allowance.
Size of Triangle from 44†/ 45†wide fabrics
* to determine the cut square size for a quarter square triangle, add 1 1/4†to the finished measurement of the triangle’s long side
