Narrow versus wide stock for whole circular tablecloth blanks: quantity checks.
A circular finished shape still needs its full source blank under the stated square-blank cutting method; area alone cannot establish fit.
Use the matching calculator
Use this decision sequence
- Write down the common measured requirement before changing an assumption.
- Use the selected fabric or foam width and length, permitted rotation and explicit cutting gaps. Do not assume matching, shrinkage or fire suitability.
- Calculate each permitted scenario independently; do not add alternative orders together.
- Carry the chosen product quantities into your material project and use actual supplier prices.
Keep the quantities distinct
| Quantity or assumption | How to use it |
|---|---|
| First basis | Narrow |
| Second basis | wide stock for whole circular tablecloth blanks |
| Decision boundary | Whole rectangular blank allocation is feasible, not optimal circular nesting. Fabric grain, print matching, foam properties, shrinkage and sewing construction remain supplied specifications. |
Worked comparison
A 0.8 m circular top with supplied 0.1 m drop and 0.05 m hem extension needs a 1.1 × 1.1 m source blank. Two blanks require two 1.5 × 1.5 m stock pieces. Both fit one 2.4 × 1.5 m piece in the fixed orientation. Circular offcuts are not reused in this calculation.
Check before using the estimate
Whole rectangular blank allocation is feasible, not optimal circular nesting. Fabric grain, print matching, foam properties, shrinkage and sewing construction remain supplied specifications.
All dimensions, product properties, prices and specifications in this example are illustrative arithmetic inputs. Use the values from your measured plan, selected product data sheet and supplier quote. This guide does not choose construction specifications or certify safety.
