Fact: a yard of fabric is 36 x 60.
She will sell 1/4, 1/2, 2/3 and 3/4 yards. What are the parameters and measurements allowed for each of the 4 measurements?
So if she has a 17 x 42 piece as an example, what will it be under?
If this ebay like site works the same as ebay with quantities, then offering 1/4 - 1/2 - 3/4 is fine but 1/3 or 2/3 isn’t going to work in the same auction/listing.
She could have two listings. One by the 1/4 yard and people could buy 1/4 or 2/4 aka 1/2 or 3/4 or 4/4 aka 1.
Another listing could be for 1/3 yard and they could buy 1/3 or 2/3 or 3/3 aka 1
Basically she’d sell multiple quantities of 1/4 yard and/or multiple quantities of 1/3 yard. If someone wanted 1 1/2 yards they would just but 6/4 or 1/4 in a quantity of 6
Personally, I would just do the 1/4 yard. If someone wants 2/3 (24”), they can just buy 3/4 (27”) and deal with it.
If someone needs a piece 17 x 42, they would buy 1/2 yard which would be 18 x 60 and they’ll have some leftover. No one cuts lengthwise into a roll because they’d end up with a ton of scraps that they’ll never sell.
1/4 yard = 9”
1/3 yard = 12”
1/2 yard = 18”
2/3 yard = 24”
3/4 yard = 27”
My division was all wrong.
Pollard has it correctly.
1/4 yard = 9”
1/3 yard = 12”
1/2 yard = 18”
2/3 yard = 24”
3/4 yard = 27”
Impressive. Thanks Pollard.
