Fabric Units

 

On this web site all fabrics are measured by the metre and sold in half a metre (50cm) units.  If you order more that one unit of the same fabric it will be cut as one length.

All patchwork fabric is 100% cotton.

Fat Quarters are measured by the yard!

A fat quarter has the same area of fabric as a quarter of a yard but its shape is different.  A fat quarter is half the length of a yard and half the width of the fabric (which is usually 112cm) = 45cm by 56cm (18" by 22").

A quarter of a yard is a running quarter yard (23cm) by the width of the fabric.

The selvage is the unusable edges on both sides of the fabric, usually a 1.5cm (½ inch) wide.
