Cross Stitch Size Calculator
Turn stitch counts and fabric count into finished and cutting sizes.
Quick answer
Divide the stitch count by the fabric count, multiply by the number of fabric threads crossed, then add the chosen margin to both sides for the cut size.
- Best for
- Converting chart dimensions into finished design size and fabric cut size for over-one or over-two stitching.
- Not for
- Estimating floss quantity, stitching time, framing allowance rules or fabric shrinkage.
Formula and assumptions
Finished size equals stitches divided by fabric count, multiplied by threads crossed. Add the margin on both sides.
Thread usage and stitching time stay outside this first version because coverage and speed vary.

FAQ
Questions this calculator answers
How large is a 140 by 196 stitch design on 14-count fabric?
With stitching over one, enter 140 by 196 stitches and a fabric count of 14. The design area is 10 by 14 inches before margins. The cut size adds your selected margin on every side.
What changes when I stitch over two threads?
Over two doubles the finished length represented by the same stitch count and fabric count. Use the selector to match how the design is stitched on the fabric.
Does the fabric size include thread requirements?
No. The result covers physical design and cut dimensions only. Floss use depends on stitch coverage, strand count, stitch type and stitching habits.
