Length of the run (e.g., the strips run
the Length quilt without having to
piece material together).
If your top or backing strips are laid
out parallel to your Width, you can
switch your values on the Top Width
and Top Length keys in order to cal-
culate the correct top and backing
Yardage and strip cut values for this
orientation (e.g., re-enter Top Width
as Top Length, and Top Length as
Top Width).
NOTE: If your quilt has a Drop included and you need to cal-
culate Yardage for strips that are laid out widthwise, the Drop
and Backing will not be calculated correctly once you switch
your Top Width and Top Length values since the Drop does
not change to fit this different orientation. You will need to cal-
culate your Drop before switching your Top Width and Top
Length values. Then switch (re-enter) your Top Width and Top
Length values and calculate your Top Quilt Yardage. To prop-
erly calculate your Backing with a Drop, you will need to add
the Drop Width to the Top Width and Top Length values and
re-calculate your Backing Yardage.
