DuckieWish List Request
Is it possible to make the boxes which hold the numbers ever so slightly bigger on the pattern summary. My back curve break point is on the larger size and the number never prints fully
Try typing a B1 number of 10 7/16 in to the crotch tool and then go to pattern summary [first click design] and you will see what I mean. I have to hand write them every time and often I forget. Then it is rummage time when I can't see what I have done.
Low on the request list but who knows it might be an easy fix.

DuckieSince decimals don't actually speak to my non-math mind, I will not do that.
Guess I will just have to continue to remember to write in the fraction.

Download the free Calculator from
http://pattern.stringcodes.com/. It converts fractions to decimals. 7/16 = .4375. Enter your measurement as 10.44 or 10.437. This is an amazing little calculator - has buttons for all fractions (including 16ths and 32nds) and can be used to calculate radius of a circle - ie enter waist circumference and it will tell you the radius need to make a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full circle skirt.
With this Calculator, you won't need to think about converting fractions to decimals. Just hit the button for the fraction you want, and it gives you the decimal number for you to type into your measurement chart.
