WVslugo: We really haven’t explored all the capabilities of the unit but we are initially quite satisfied. Unit received as new and was a little pricey but didn’t want to risk item that was described as “Good Condition” at a lower price.

Becky ThompsonBecky Thompson: This thing is awesome! I needed this gadget very badly recently at the quilt store and when I asked why they didn't have one, they insisted it was too complicated to understand. I found that hard to believe and it couldn't be any harder than attempting to figure out what I needed by hand (I'm seriously math challenged). So when it arrived, I was determined to figure it out and make it work for me. It came with a big book I didn’t read, an instructional DVD that I didn't watch, and a little pocket-size instruction book that actually goes INSIDE the back of the calculator case. Very cool. I love that it has a hinged cover like a door to close over it which will prevent any purse dirt from getting into the keys. Anyway, without even so much as turning it on, I sat down with the pocket instruction book determined to master this supposedly impossible device.
The biggest thing about this calculator at first glance, is not to get overwhelmed by all the buttons. It looks very intimidating, but as with most gadgets, it turns out you really only need to use a few of the buttons for most tasks. So in addition to the numbers buttons, you will mostly use the top row of red buttons...

Leonilla: This is the single most greatest thing I've ever bought. There are YouTube videos that show you how crazy easy this is to use. No more wasting fabric, ever again. I'm a beginning quilter and can never really understand how many squares and stripes and pieces I need because the math gets out of hand. All you do is tell it how big you want your final quilt dimensions it will tell you how many strips, squares or whatever you need but more importantly it tells you how long and wide each single piece needs to be cut to make sure your quilt comes out right. Pure genius! Watch the videos and you'll be back to buy this. Seriously.

K. Jones: Hi:
Just wanted to share how much I love my FabriCalc fabric calculator. It works really great! I find it most helpful when trying to figure out if the piece of fabric in my stash will be sufficient for parts of a quilt I am working on. It's great when your designing your own quilt and you want to calculate how much fabric you need for each part of the pattern. This is Also a great tool to use when converting yards to metres. It gives you the equivalent with in seconds. It serves as a regular calculator too! Perfect when adding up your purchases before you reach the checkout. Comes with two excellent easy to understand instruction guides. One can be kept in your sewing room and the smaller one slides into a space at the back of the calculator itself, so that you have it with you at all times. I am so pleased with it. It makes a great addition to the many tools that are useful when quilting or sewing. An excellent Christmas, Birthday, or Thinking of You gift. I strongly recommend it. I LOVE IT!!!
