Enter the chart dimensions and fabric count. The recommendation adds a 3-inch margin on every side for framing or finishing.

Formula

Finished inches = stitches ÷ fabric count. Finished centimeters = inches × 2.54. Add at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) on every edge when cutting fabric.

Common choices

14-count is beginner-friendly and widely available. 16-count makes the same chart 12.5% smaller; 18-count makes it about 22% smaller and demands finer stitching.
