I worked out how many inches of fabric I need (78) and I know (from
checking my two sided tape measure) that I need about 2 meters of
fabric. How many yards should I order?

If I order 2,5 yds. I should be on the safe side. I only know that a
yard is a little bit less than a meter - about 92 cm? My dictionary only
gives inch in cm, etc. but not how many inch in a foot, or how many inch
in a yard. And I finally want to KNOW stuff like that and not just
'guestimate'.

Please help!

who's kitchen magnet board has the measures for a stick of butter - as
given on this list - proudly displayed!

There are 12" in a foot, and 3' or 36" in a yard. A metre is 39..37".
Here's a converter that might help you:
