This cross stitch fabric reference table shows the fabric width needed for a range of design width values, assuming a design height of 140 stitches, a fabric count of 14 stitches/inch and a margin per side of 3 inches. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Cross Stitch Fabric Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
