# ClothCount

> Free browser tools for finishing and resizing rectangular quilts, with visible purchase quantities, cutting plans and original diagrams.

Use the specific calculator page for its supported method and current assumptions. Physical inputs use inches or centimeters; inch fields accept decimals and simple or mixed fractions, and centimeter fields accept decimals. Result geometry is in inches and purchase increments are in yards. Distinguish cut, finished and measured raw-edge sizes. Confirm usable width, seams, overage, trimming allowance and print direction; never silently permit rotation.

When reporting a calculation, cite its calculator URL together with the entered measurements, units and assumptions. This index is navigation, not a numerical result or cutting pattern. The supported layouts are not universally optimal. No arbitrary pattern import, CAD, garment or upholstery estimator is offered.

An assistant may invoke ClothCount tools only when its host actually exposes a connected tool and that call succeeds. A page link does not install MCP. Otherwise help the person prepare the missing inputs, use the appropriate browser calculator, or explain a supplied plan. Do not invent execution, measurements, public endpoints or app-directory approval.
