Cross Stitch Calculator

Plan the cloth, the finished size and a first estimate of thread.

Measure twice. Cut once.

Fabric count is holes per inch. Stitching over two threads halves the effective count. Margins are added on every side; the thread estimate uses the number of occupied full-cross cells you enter.

  1. Fabric count

    A 140-stitch width on 14-count Aida measures 10 inches. On 28-count linen over two, it has the same width.

  2. Margins

    Add room for finishing and mounting. Choose the allowance for your project; it is not included in finished design size.

  3. Thread estimate

    The model uses stitch diagonals, strands and spare length. It excludes knots, beads and backstitch, and is not physically calibrated.

Keep making.
