You can purchase any length of fabric you want from off a bolt or you can buy pre cut pieces or bundles of fabric. One of the more popular pre cut pieces of fabric available today is a fat quarter. ZJ Humbach teaches you- what is a fat quarter, exactly how much fabric it is and how it is different from a quarter yard of fabric. Understand Fabric Yardage Quilting fabric can be purchased off of a bolt in lengths of anything from a few inches to a few yards. While the length of the fabric you purchase can differ drastically the width is generally consistent- anywhere from 42” to 44”. Fabric is folded when it is stored on a bolt so when it is being cut the width of fabric you see is around 21”, folded in half. A quarter yard of fabric is 9”, making the total size of fabric purchased when getting a quarter yard 9” x the width of fabric, generally 42” to 44”. So, what is a fat quarter? ZJ shows what a quarter yard of fabric looks like and compares it to a fat quarter of fabric. Fat quarters measure approximately 18” x 21”. An easy way to visualize and understand what a fat quarter is and how it is cut is to think of a quarter yard of fabric that has been cut where the fold is into two 9” x 21” pieces. One of those pieces is then laid next to the other, creating an 18” x 21” piece of fabric, known as a fat quarter. 🧵 Sign up for the free NQC newsletter to find the latest quilting tips and techniques right in your inbox. https://bit.ly/3P5Jv2l Buying Fabric Tips To Get The Right Amount Understanding what is a fat quarter makes them more useful to have when planning out a quilt.
