I am looking for a cheat sheet like they have at the fabric counters in Wal-Mart and JoAnns. It breaks down inches to yards or fractions of a yard to inches. Like so many inches equals this fraction of a yard, etc....... Does anyone have one they could post or e-mail ??? Thank you, Melinda |

They're generally printed on yard sticks that you can buy anywhere....
