How do you buy fabric by length?
Buy a length, and read the width on the fabric page. A metre of 110 cm cloth is not a metre of 150 cm cloth in a pattern. One yard equals 0.9144 metres. That conversion does not calculate yield. The width guide is the place for usable width. FabStitch does not invent a price per metre.

- Length is not width.
- State the unit in the inquiry.
- Pattern yield is your calculation.
What to send
Fabric URL, width you saw, and metres or yards required.
If width is unpublished, ask before you multiply.
