  2. Enter the extra binding length you want to allow for joining.
  3. Calculate the perimeter plus the entered joining allowance.

Formula and limits

Length = 2(length+width)+allowance. This excludes corners, seam loss and cutting layout. This does not forecast demand, certify a textile specification, or recommend a process setting.
