Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on

I have three items that are quoted in price per linear meter. How do I convert into price per linear yard? All of the items are 54" wide.
1) 9.85 per linear meter = X per linear yard
2) 12.55 per linear meter = X per linear yard
3) 13.10 per linear meter = X per linear yard
Also, the three items are in grams per square meter. How do I convert into ounces per square yard?
1) 300-320 GSM
2) 420-440 GSM
3) 450-470 GSM
Thanks!

I found out the GSM part but am still not sure how to convert linear meters into linear yards and adjust the price accordingly.

1 yd = 0.9144 m, so just multiply the price by 0.9144.

to convert g/m2 to oz/y2 you divide the g/m2 by 33.9057
i.e. 350g/m2 = 10.3oz/y2
also, in fabric world g/m2 is also known as "gsm".
