Gathering Ratio Calculator

Find the measured gathering ratio and fabric length needed for a new finished target. Provide Finished gathered length, Ungathered fabric length, New finished target length to compute results directly in your browser. Ratio = ungathered/finished; the new target uses the same measured ratio. Original length must be at least finished length. No seam or fabric-type allowance inferred. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur.

How to Read and Verify the Gathering Ratio Calculator Output

The output panel reports the exact result derived from Finished gathered length, Ungathered fabric length, New finished target length alongside any unit or formatting notes.

The result is the gathering ratio and new ungathered fabric length. Scale a measured gathering arrangement to a new finished length.

The ratio comes from the supplied finished and ungathered lengths; seam allowances and fabric behavior are not inferred.

Numerical output shows up to 12 significant digits. Floating-point arithmetic and display rounding can affect the last digits.

Example input
Finished gathered length = 50; Ungathered fabric length = 100; New finished target length = 75
Example output
Gathering ratio: 2 Target fabric length: 150
