I find myself looking up the measurements for a crib sized quilt the most. It just doesn’t stick in my head!
Queen size. Although the other two charts will be even more handy. The fractions to inches will save me a lot of time
to convert fractions to inches just devide the top number and divide by the bottom
1/4 1 divided by 4 = 0.25″
I am constantly looking up the size of a lap quilt!
This is handy, thank you for gathering the info in one place.
Pillowcases and windows
All of them although I would say Lap size and Crib.
I have not committed the sizes to memory. Therefore, I have to look them up.
Lap quilt size, seems the sizes are different all over the web.
Nice reference, thank you.
Crib sized
Probably Crib size most…. Throws sometimes, tho usually make them whatever size according to who is is for. lol
I end up looking up twin size every time and tell myself next time I’ll remember :). Thank you so much for the printable!
I never remember bed sizes and look up the twin size most often.
I have to look up a conversion chart yardage to metric.I just don’t understand imperial .
Thanks for the handy charts. I probably look up full and queen size most.
Hey 1 yard is not 26 inches on your chart, it is 36 inches, someone can’t type and proofread!!!!!
I’m glad someone else noticed this! And mentioned it…
1 yard = 36″
I have to look up metric to standard conversions.
Crib size
Thanks a lot, this is very helpful !
I have to use my meters/yards conversion chart quite often since none of those metric measurements make any sense and are not easy to remember. Same for inches and centimeters.
And I just recently finally memorized the standard pillowcase size but I often have to look up crib sheet and other pillowcase sizes as well.
Yes, the yardage chart is not so handy with the wrong yard measurement of 26 inches instead of 36 inches! Easy typos to make…but still, it needs fixing!
I plan to start sewing, this will help a lot. Thanks!
All of them! I’m 61 and just starting to learn quilting and I’m always having to look up stuff over and over again. Thank you, I just printed the bed and pillow chart. By the way, the fabric measurements chart is incorrect! 1 yard is 36 inches not 26 inches.
The yardage fractions will be most useful for me. I always have to look them up.
Thank you so much for posting all this wonderful information in one spot ! I so needed it as my brain just does not do math anymore ,lol.
I appreciate these charts, I’m always looking for my calculator to change fractions to decimals. Now I won’t have to do that.
I think there is an error in the first one that lists 26″ as a yard.
I have to look up sizes for queen-sized most often.
Right now I have to look up the twin size most often.
All of them, I am just starting to sew and quilt.
lap quilts
I would say bag or tote measurements.
In the Yard Charts that you have posted on the first chart you show 1 yard = 26″. I know it is a typo but if someone was new to sewing and knew nothing at all they would think a yard is 26″ when we know it should be 36″.
I couldn’t tell you any meteoric conversions to save my life. Yardage conversions I can do because I used to work for a sewing shop. I never memorize the sizes of quilts because they never seem to work. I live with a covers hog and standard size means I will wake up with no covers. Everything I do is custom made to the size that feels comfortable.
I never have been in the habit of looking up measurements, but the chart will be useful.
I have to look them all up, that way I am sure that at least I am close in sizes. LOL
In your printable chart for size comparisons, you have said I yard is 26 inches! It is 36 inches.
You really need to correct it.
All the yardage conversions! thanks!
This is handy, thank you for gathering the info in one place.
recheck the yard/ inches chart, states a yard is 26 inches, should be reposted with 36 inches
The yardage conversions are a god-send. I find patterns frequently that list measurements in metric, and I am hopelessly lost. This is wonderful. (An aside-the chart has a typo on the 1 yard conversion. Should say 36″ no 26″). Thanks again!
I can’t find today’s blog post, but I look up pillow sizes the most probably. Thanks again for the charts!
Standard pillow case.
1 YARD = 36 INCHES not 26
I am so glad somebody thought about this, this help out the that need thing at the hand.
Thanks
You have a typo on the yardage. I yard does NOT equal 26″, but 36″. I hope you correct it before someone makes a big booboo. Thanks, Carmen A Cancel
I have to look up queen size all the time, although I usually add several borders on quilts I make for my family members. Also, evidently you don’t take the time to read the reply/comments from your readers, since many people have been telling you that your first chart is wrong for almost a year! One yard = 36″. When you click on the link for the first chart, is states 1 yard = 26″, which all seasoned quilters/sewists know that 1 yard = 36″. However, new quilters/sewsts may not know and buy the wrong amount of fabric. You really should correct the chart!
I tried to remove a stain from a crocheted table cloth my dad’s favorite aunt had made for him and ended up with huge holes where the bleach had eaten the thread. It broke my heart and his and angered him to no end! Wish I had known that was even a possibility.
There should be a note with the bedding chart that this is for USA only. In the UK a KINGSIZE is the equivalent of a US “Queensize”…. we don’t have “Queensize”. A UK “Super-King” is the equivalent of a US King size. There isn’t anything bigger….our houses are too small!!!! I’m a Texan who lives in England.
I am very new to sewing any information I get is very much appreciated
i need a chart taking 45″ to 60″
Thank you for making these available. They are a huge help to someone who has to covert from Metric to Imperial. Much appreciated.
I tend to look up the lap quilt size the most. Thank you for the charts.
I was very disappointed cause I could not get the charts to print. I did type out some on the yardages and bedding sizes onto my cell phone to have them with me when I go fabric shopping
I tried the links and the pages were blank.
I also tried the links for the free printables and they come up with an error that the XML file has no style information associated with it.
