Find how many yards of fabric you need to cut a set of same-size pieces, accounting for bolt width and waste.
How it works: Pieces are laid across the fabric width (across = fabric width ÷ piece width), then stacked in rows. Total length = rows × piece length, plus waste, converted to yards (÷ 36). Assumes pieces aren’t rotated.
