Need some help please, neophyte!

Hello,
I'm brand new to this program but loving it, using it for charity work.  BUT can anyone tell me if it can calculate how much of each colored fabric is required?
I thought I read somewhere that the option was available, but can't find now that I need it.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can get the estimated fabric usage as a printed overview, so go to menu "File" -> "Print", then select the "Fabric Usage" tab.
If you based your design on an image and get too many different fabric shades, you may need the "Edit" -> "Reduce Number of Colors" menu item to group similar shades together.
