Calculator
Calculate design size, fabric to cut with margins, and the maximum whole stitches that fit your available fabric.

Cut size including a margin on each side of 5 cm
Solid: design · Dashed: required cut size, not available fabric
Uses the current width/height orientation; reverse stitch counts are rounded down. Allow extra for measurement error and shrinkage.
Fabric count is the number of threads or squares per inch. Stitches per inch = count ÷ threads per cross. Thus 14ct over 1 and 28ct over 2 give the same design size. Design size in cm = stitches × threads per cross ÷ count × 2.54. Cut size = design size + 2 × margin per side.
Maximum stitches = floor(max(0, fabric size − 2 × margin) × count ÷ (2.54 × threads per cross)). Round down, never up: 115.7 means 115 complete stitches. Design fit and fit with margins are separate checks, using unrounded values. Swap width and height to test rotation. Allow separately for framing, finishing, fabric irregularity and shrinkage.
