Your plan also updates as you type.

Displayed values are rounded. When cutting, round up or use a larger piece. Shrinkage, fraying and finishing reserves are not added.

SAME CHART. A DIFFERENT SCALE.

What if you changed the count?

Same stitches. Same edge allowance.
A smaller stitch makes a smaller design.

THE MATH BEHIND THE MAKING

Divide. Add a little room. Done.

Stitch width ÷ Aida count = design width in inches.
Add twice your margin to get the fabric width. Repeat for height.
