Cross Stitch Size & Thread Calculator

Cross Stitch

Calculate finished dimensions for any fabric count and estimate thread amounts per color.

💡 Cross Stitch Tips

  • Aida 14 is the most popular fabric count — great for beginners and most patterns.
  • Over-two stitching on evenweave/linen gives a softer look than Aida at the same effective count.
  • Always add margins — 3 inches per side minimum for framing, more for scroll frames.
  • Thread estimates are per color. Repeat the calculation for each color in your pattern.
