Cross stitch size calculator
Enter the size of the design in stitches and the count of your fabric, and see how big it will be when finished and how much fabric to cut, margin included. It covers Aida, and linen or evenweave stitched over two threads.

How it works
Fabric count is the number of stitches per inch, so the finished size is the number of stitches divided by the count: 140 stitches on 14-count Aida make 10 inches. Linen and evenweave are usually stitched over two threads, which halves the count: 28-count linen over two gives 14 stitches per inch, the same size as 14-count Aida.
Add a margin on every side before you cut: 2 to 3 inches is usual for framing, more for a hoop or a pillow. To turn a photo into a pattern, use the cross stitch pattern maker.
