match this rounded, fractional value. For

instance, when calculating Yardage for

20 five-inch squares, the displayed frac-

tional Yardage is 1/2 Yard, even though

the actual decimal value of this calcula-

tion is .45833 Yards. The Quilter’s

FabriCalc rounds up to the nearest frac-

tion so that you purchase the proper

amount of material in standard, fabric

fractions.

When storing the displayed 1/2 Yard in

any of the memory registers (such as

FAB-1), the actual decimal value is

stored. The calculator will add the deci-

mal values of any additional Yardages

that are added to the cumulative memory

registers, so the cumulative result will

display to the nearest fraction based on

the underlying decimal value.

For example, if you calculated 1/2 Yard

for 20 five-inch Squares and stored it in

Fabric 1, and then calculated 40 five-inch

Squares (result: 1 Yard) and added the

resulting 1 Yard to Fabric 1, your total

Fabric 1 result is 1-3/8 Yards (not 1-1/2

Yards) because the underlying decimal

value is used. This helps you buy the

correct quantity of material so you don’t

buy too much.
