Where Can I Find Oversized Fabric?

• Dyeing for Cross Stitch
• Charting Creations
• Lakeside Needlecraft
• Stitchery XPress

• Divide each number of the stitch count by your preferred fabric count
• Add 6 inches to each of those numbers to allow for matting and framing
• If you’re working in centimeters, multiply the final size by 2.54 to convert from inches

Example: If the finished design size is 12x12, then you'll need a piece of fabric 18x18.

How Much Floss Do I Need?

Each pattern contains a Floss Key indicating how much of each color floss will be needed. Because we don't know what fabric count or stitch configuration you will be using, we have calculated this chart based on the most common, lowest recommended size, 3 over 1 full cross stitch on 14 count fabric. Please refer to the conversion figures below if you are using a different fabric count or stitch configuration.

Please Note: These are estimates. Your actual usage may vary depending on your personal stitching style. The calculation for tent stitches assumes that you're using conventional vertical half stitches on the underside of your fabric. If you prefer to use a continental stitch on the underside, your floss usage will be somewhat higher.
