How to use this tool

  1. Enter required panel length, vertical pattern repeat, panels, and first motif alignment allowance in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for fabric pattern repeat alignment. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "length": 170,
  "repeat": 32,
  "panels": 4,
  "lead": 12
}

Accuracy and scope

Straight-match motifs only; not half-drop matching, upholstery placement or widthwise nesting.
