Bolt Plan is a kit-planning tool built specifically for quilt shop owners. Planning kits can get complicated fast. You need to know how much fabric to order, how many bolts that means, and how many complete kits those bolts can actually produce. Bolt Plan does the quilt math for you. Start with the number of kits you want to make. Enter or scan your fabric requirements, choose your bolt size and overage, and Bolt Plan calculates the yardage and number of bolts you need to purchase. Because fabric is purchased by the bolt, you often end up with more yardage than your original kit quantity requires. Bolt Plan shows you how many complete kits your purchased bolts can actually make, helping you understand how far your fabric investment can go. Bolt Plan also helps with more complex projects, including BOMs, Quilt Seeds, multi-pattern kits, panels, precuts, and projects with multiple fabric requirements. Combine patterns to see shared fabric needs and calculate the total buy across the project. When it’s time to cut, create a printable PDF with the information you need at the cutting table—so the same plan you used for purchasing is right there when you’re ready to make the kits. Use Bolt Plan to: • Calculate yardage for your planned kits • Determine how many bolts to purchase • See how many complete kits those bolts can produce • Add overage for more confident ordering • Plan single-pattern and multi-pattern kits • Combine fabric requirements across projects • Work with yardage, panels, and precuts • Keep kit plans organized and searchable • Print purchasing and cutting information in one clear PDF No more calculator, scratch paper, sticky notes, or trying to recreate the math later. Plan your kits. Calculate your bolts. Know how far your purchase can go. Support: https://thegandyplan.com/terms-of-service
