Fabric panel planner
Find pieces per row, row count and fabric length for one repeated rectangular cut size.
Use tool ↗VIJERON / CUTTING ROOM
From measurements to cuts, without guesswork.
Sewing guides and fabric planning tools with visible formulas, assumptions and limitations. Designed for rectangular panels and simple edging tape estimates.

Finished size differs from cut size
Before calculating fabric length, decide which edges will be sewn, how much width is usable and which way the grain and print run. The tools show arithmetic; your sketch decides whether the layout is practical.
01 / Method & sources
Three notes before cutting
- 01
Measure the finished object and mark each edge treatment.
- 02
Decide cut dimensions and grain or print direction.
- 03
Arrange pieces across usable fabric width; explain any extra length.
02 / Tools
Two tools for simple plans
Inputs and results are calculated in your browser. Project measurements are not sent to a Vijeron server.
Rectangular edging tape
Find perimeter, joining allowance and tape rolls from the dimensions you enter.
Use tool ↗03 / Guides
Eight guides from sketch to buying note
Learn finished size, seam allowance, fabric width, grain, panel layout, prints, shrinkage and planning notes. The examples are reproducible arithmetic.
Finished size versus cut size
Similar-looking measurements can produce different finished objects. Start with the result you want, then allow for joins.
Read guide ↗Seam allowances and hems do different jobs
Joining two pieces differs from folding a visible outer edge. Plan each edge as part of the pattern.
Read guide ↗Read grain direction and usable width
A cutting calculation works only when the pattern may be oriented across the available fabric width.
Read guide ↗Lay out rectangular fabric panels
Find how many pieces fit across each row before multiplying fabric length. The layout is transparent and deliberately simple.
Read guide ↗Estimate edging tape from perimeter
For a rectangle, perimeter starts the tape estimate; joins and allowances still need recording.
Read guide ↗Plan repeat patterns and print direction
Printed fabric can require more length than a plain-fabric layout suggests.
Read guide ↗Prepare fabric and check shrinkage
Dimensional change after care can undo careful arithmetic. Follow the care label and remeasure the fabric.
Read guide ↗Make a cutting plan before buying
A one-page note keeps finished size, cut size, orientation and purchase length connected.
