How this is calculated

  • Finished size = stitch count ÷ effective fabric count (count ÷ stitches-over).
  • Fabric cut size adds your chosen margin to every side for hooping and framing.
  • Total stitches is the pattern width multiplied by its height.
  • Recommended frame size rounds the finished dimensions up to the nearest even inch.
