How it works
Finished size in inches = stitches divided by fabric count. A 100 x 120 pattern on 14 count Aida is 7.14 x 8.57 in.
Fabric to cut = finished size plus the margin on both sides. A 3 in margin leaves room for framing and hoop edges.
Floss is an estimate only: about 8 m (315 in) per 6 strand skein, each full cross using roughly 4.8 stitch-lengths of thread including the back, plus 25 percent waste. Check the floss key on your pattern and buy a spare skein of any color with large areas.
