Measurements of 1 yard of fabric?

What are the deminsions of 1 yard of fabric? Can I get ten 10inx10in squares out of 1 yard?

Good answers from the other postersbut when figuring how many units you can cut from a fabric width, deduct at least 2 from each dimension of the original fabricso I'd consider 40 fabric to be 38 wide for figuring purposes, and a yard in length I'd consider to be 34This deduction is for four purposes: 1) There are factory edges on fabric, running the length of the fabricThese are called selvages or selvedges (spelling varies), and are more tightly woven than the body of the fabricIf you cut your fabric squares including the selvages, the quilt will pucker where those selvages areSo exclude them from your squareYou'll actually lose about 3/4 or so in fabric width this way, but you're also likely to have some shrinkage - see 22) ShrinkageFabrics are woven and finished under tension, which is why they come off the bolt nice and flat (or at least they should)Before you sew a fabric, however, it needs to be prewashed or preshrunk to let the yarns in the fabric relaxYou usually lose a little in width and a little more in length when you do soShrinkage percentages vary - from almost none up to an astounding 30% in some specialty fabrics2-5% is pretty typical of run of the mill cotton fabrics3) Fabric store clerks rarely cut squarely across the width of the fabriclosing a couple of inches to squiggly cutting is not unusual, alas 4) Miscutting on your partcutting perfect squares isn't easyIt's not unusual for beginners to botch 20% or more of their squares So give yourself a little leeway when figuring fabric amounts.

My 13 year old sister was diagnosed with type 1 in september last year, and it's really badShe had to stick to a certain amount of units of insulin, until the doctor felt she was ready to 'carb-count', which is when you have to count the carbs (obv.) in your food, and inject the amount of units based on thatI don't reckon that your life would be any shorter, just try to keep away from sugary snacks and foods when your hyper(glyceamic)She eats biscuits and dextrose (those glucose filled sweet things) when she is hypo(glyceamic)Seriously, don't worry about itI can't say anything about it, as personally, I don't have it, but I know lots of people who do, and live with oneMy sister got a lot of hypo's, and still does, but once she takes care of it she is fineHope it goes ok :)

We are in a good time period to have diabetesEat what you want in moderationSteer away from excessive sugar, because that isn't healthy anywayAnd just give the right amount of insulin for whatever you eatIf you want a cookie, eat it, just give proper insulin for it.

The best thing my diabetic educator taught me is everything in moderationGet used to reading labels and I would invest in a food count bookOnce you get the hang of counting carbs and matching that with an insulin ratio isn't not so badI would seriously consider getting an insulin pump at some point, if you can swing it with your insurance.
