StitchFit / Tracelyx

From stitch count to the right fabric size.

Plan your design, compare fabric counts and leave room for finishing before you cut.

Your chart and fabric

14ct Aida over 1 and 28ct linen over 2 produce the same stitched dimensions.

The example starts with 7.5 cm on each side. Adjust for your hoop, framing method and fabric shrinkage.

How the calculation works

Design width in inches = stitches across × threads per stitch ÷ fabric count. Multiply by 2.54 for cm. Add twice the allowance to both the width and height to find the fabric cut size.

The design size helps you choose a frame opening. Frame rebates, mats, lacing and hoop clearance vary: measure your actual frame and add the finishing allowance you need.
