CALCULATE FABRIC SHRINKAGE USING THE IMPERIAL SYSTEM
Step 1). Select [What is the % increase/decrease X to Y] from calculator drop down option above.
Step 2). input in [what is the % increase/decrease from] empty field original before wash WIDTH measurement 18"
Step 3). input in [To] empty field after wash WIDTH measurement 17" then hit enter on your keyboard to get total fabric WIDTH shrinkage. Repeat the same process above to calculate fabric lenght shrinkage.
