Method and assumptions
Effective stitches per inch = fabric count ÷ threads crossed per stitch. Stitched width and height equal pattern stitches ÷ effective count. Add twice the per-side extra to each stitched dimension. Aida commonly uses one square per stitch; over-two linen/evenweave uses two fabric threads per stitch. Confirm your pattern’s actual count.
Worked example
A 100 × 140-stitch design on 14-count Aida over one measures 7.143 × 10 inches stitched. With 3 inches extra per side, cut 13.143 × 16 inches of fabric.
