Useful next steps
Match fabric count to how you stitch
Fabric count is entered per inch or per centimetre. Use one block per stitch for Aida. If working evenweave over two fabric threads, enter two. This is not the number of strands of embroidery floss.
Add the margins you need
A 140 × 100 stitch design on 14-count Aida measures 10 × approximately 7.1429 inches. A 3-inch margin on every edge makes the cut size 16 × approximately 13.1429 inches. The same design on 28-count evenweave over two has the same size.
