Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Quilting Calculators, an app by Handmade Interactive, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Quilting Calculators feels like the handy cheat sheet every quilter keeps nearby, only smarter. It bundles a set of small tools that take the stress out of yardage and cutting math. Pick the thing needed, type in quilt size, block or strip width, and it tells exactly how much fabric to buy or cut. It covers backing and batting, borders, binding, how many pieces fit in a cut, how much yardage is required for a certain number of pieces, square in a square sizing, plus those set in and corner triangles that tend to trip people up. It switches between U.S. and metric without any fuss, and there is a converter so decimals and fractions make sense when a pattern says 5 3/8 and the brain stalls for a second.

The layout is simple, nothing flashy, which is nice because it is quick. The built in chatbot answers quilting questions in plain language, so if someone forgets what unfinished size means or how to join binding, it explains and points to the right calculator. On a PC with BlueStacks, the bigger screen is helpful, easier to read numbers and keep the app open next to a pattern or spreadsheet. Great for planning a project, double checking math before cutting, or seeing if the stash is enough or a shop run is happening. Feels like a reliable ruler and pencil, only it does the math for real.

Switch to BlueStacks and make the most of your apps on your PC or Mac.
