Repeated fabric pieces
Lay out identical rectangular pieces across usable fabric width.
How this works
Fit whole pieces across the width, round up the required rows, then add extra length.
Example
Using the example inputs, fabric length is 1.3 m.
- Usable fabric width
- 140 cm
- Cut piece width
- 30 cm
- Cut piece length
- 40 cm
- Pieces required
- 12
- Extra fabric length
- 10 cm
- Fabric length
- 1.3 m
Scope and assumptions
Fixed orientation; no rotation optimization. Include seam allowances in cut dimensions.
