I have a client who's considering a check fabric which has a 38cm vertical repeat and 31cm horizontal repeat.
I've managed to get myself tied up in knots trying to work out the fabric quantity
Can someone unravel me......horizontal repeat is the usual one that gets repeated down the length of the fabric - isn't it?
Haven't had to deal with such a big vertical repeat before & am struggling to make sure I have enough widths to properly match the pattern....
......do you take the flat width...say 210cm x 2.5 fullness = 525cm total flat width
then 525cm flat width divided by 31cm vertical repeat = 16.93 repeats = 17 repeats
17 repeats x 31cm repeat = 527cm / 137cm fabric width = 3.84 widths = 4 widths
Does that make sense????
