Robert Kaufman Fabrics and Quilter's Paradise have joined forces to bring you a collection of eight essential quilting calculators. With these calculators you'll be able to quickly convert between yards and inches, meters and centimeters; learn how much fabric you need for backing, batting and borders; and determine how many rectangular pieces can be cut from a larger piece. There are even calculators for square-in-a-square, set-in and corner triangles. Here's a brief description of each calculator: Fabric Measurement Converter: Converts between inches and yards in decimal form, and yards in fractional form. (With metric equivalents.) Backing and Batting Calculator: Determines how much material from a bolt of fabric is needed to make the backing for a quilt. Piece Count Calculator: Shows the number of fixed-sized pieces of fabric that can be cut from a larger piece. Pieces to Area Calculator: Indicates how much fabric is needed in order to cut a given number of fixed-sized pieces. Binding Calculator: Tells you the amount of fabric required to bind your quilt, based on the quilt’s dimensions and the binding strip width. Border Calculator: Shows the amount of fabric required to create borders, based on a quilt’s dimensions and the width of the borders. Square-in-a-Square Calculator: Works out the key dimensions of a square-in-a-square block. Set-in and Corner Triangle Calculator: Determines the size of the square piece you’ll need to cut in order to create both unfinished set-in triangles and unfinished corner triangles.

Verdict
QuiltingCalc and ClickFree both sit at 4.2 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of QuiltingCalc's written reviews are positive against 26% of ClickFree's. QuiltingCalc also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). ClickFree's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 125). On price, rating, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
