Enter your fabric count, design width, and design height into the calculator to determine the fabric size needed for your cross stitch project.

Cross Stitch Fabric Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the fabric size needed for your cross stitch project.

Fabric Size (in inches) = (Design Width / Fabric Count + 2) * (Design Height / Fabric Count + 2)

Variables:

  • Fabric Size is the size of fabric needed (in inches)
  • Design Width is the width of your design (in stitches)
  • Design Height is the height of your design (in stitches)
  • Fabric Count is the count of the fabric (in stitches per inch)

To calculate the fabric size, divide the design width and height by the fabric count, then add 2 inches to each dimension for margins. Multiply these values to get the fabric size in square inches.
