This calculator calculates the amount of fabric required to bind your quilt given
the quilt's dimensions (width and length) and the binding strip width.
The calculator provides 2 calculations:
To use the calculator, specify the width of the fabric (the calculator defaults to a value of 43 inches) along with the width and length of the quilt, and the desired binding strip width. The calculator provides:
Note on Flange Binding: a flange binding consists of 2 fabric strips sewn together along the long edge; the two strips may be of different fabrics. One strip is 1/4" wider than the other to account for the seam allowance when sewn together. If you are making a flange binding and need to calculate the yardage required, simply run the binding calculator twice, once for each strip taking care to specify the correct binding strip width for each strip. |

Bias Binding Calculations |
||||||||||||
Bias strips are cut on the diagonal from a square or rectangular piece of fabric
(see diagrams to the right).
The calculator calculates how much fabric is needed using both approaches:
In both cases, the calculator adds some margin to the calculation to ensure there is adequate fabric and so you don't need to cut bias strips all the way to the corners of the square or rectangle. (Such strips would be very short and not as useful.)
