FORMULA for converting mm to inches is "25.4mm = 1 inch" /          To compute mm to inches - 115mm divided by 25.4mm =4.52 inches
                                                                                                             To compute inches to mm - 4.52inches multiplied by 25.4mm=115mm
Sizes are "Maximums".  All systems can rotate the design to fit the sewing field if necessary.
