Cross-stitch & evenweave
Cross-stitch fabric size & cut layout
Enter your fabric and chart sizes. See each cut with its blank margin and check how the patterns fit together.
Fabric
Measure the usable, prewashed fabric. Turn off rotation for directional fabric. Margins are part of each cut, not shared space.
Pattern charts
Enter chart stitches, not finished inches or centimeters.

Fabric cutting layout
Over one / over twoIndividual cuts · margins included
A packing result is a starting arrangement. It does not account for damaged edges, skewed weave, shrinkage or extra framing requirements.
Guides
Calculate cross-stitch fabric size with margins
Keep the chart’s stitched dimensions separate from the fabric you cut.
Compare Aida and linen stitched over two
Use effective stitch count to compare finished sizes without confusing thread count and chart stitches.
Fit several cross-stitch patterns on one fabric remnant
Check usable dimensions, rotation and complete cut rectangles before making the first cut.
How the tool works
Effective stitches per inch equals fabric count divided by threads crossed per stitch. Chart width and height are divided by that effective count, then twice the blank margin is added to each cutting dimension. A rectangle-packing heuristic tries to arrange those complete cuts on one fabric piece. It preserves each cut’s own margins and only rotates cuts when selected.
