Determine the exact Aida cloth size you need with our interactive cross stitch fabric calculator. Enter your stitch count to get precise cutting dimensions for standard fabrics, linen, and evenweave before matching your DMC floss.
The "count" of your Aida cloth or evenweave dictates how large your final piece will be. A higher count means smaller stitches and a more compact design. Always use our cross stitch fabric calculator when changing counts to ensure your DMC floss coverage remains perfect.
Large, easy to see holes. Best for beginners using 3 strands of DMC floss.
The universal standard. Perfect balance of detail and readability. Uses 2 strands.
Fine detail, highly pixelated look. Excellent for complex, full-coverage art.
Never cut your fabric exactly to the pattern size. Our Aida cloth size calculator automatically adds your specified margin (usually 2-3 inches per side) to give you room to hold your embroidery hoop, frame the finished piece, and prevent edge fraying from ruining your stitches.
If you plan to have your cross stitch professionally framed or mounted on a foam board, always add 3 inches (7.5 cm) per side. The framer needs this excess fabric to pull the canvas taut so your DMC floss stitches sit perfectly flat behind the glass.
