Quilter's Fabricalc?
#23
I have had mine for 4-5 years. Have no problem with it whatsoever. Just put in what you have to know and it works. Has for me! I have a lot of trouble "headwise" figuring out amounts of fab I need and this does the trick for me. You just have to have patience and work at it. It'll come to you in one felled swoop! Edie

I have always done the calculations myself it takes a few steps but I am usually accurate. I recently downloaded the Robert Kaufman app I double checked my calculations on my last couple of projects the numbers are incredibly close.
I use the app more when I'm out and don't have my calculations with me or when I get an idea and want to know how many cuts I can get out of a piece of fabric.

I have one and don't use it much. I do use it to calculate backing fadrics, and how many binding strips to cut. I should use it more, but just don't.
I figure, I already have it and use it for a few things, why not just keep it. It doesn't take up much space.

I don't see why I would ever want to calculate fabric anyway. If I have a pattern I buy more of each fabric then listed. If I don't have a pattern I make sure I have 3 or more yards per fabric to start with. I use what I need and the rest is for the scrap bin or stash.

I got one because I'm a sucker for a new quilt toy, but to be honest I have only used it as a calculator, not to figure out yardage etc. But, since it has quilt designs on it, I haven't lost it to the men in the family, do that's a good thing!
