## Quick Answer

Calculate the required cut fabric dimensions for a cross-stitch project. Enter stitch count wide/high, Aida count, and border margins.

## Definition

A cross-stitch calculator is a crafting utility that computes the physical dimensions of fabric needed for cross-stitching projects. By dividing design stitch dimensions by the Aida count (stitches per inch), it establishes the physical design size and adds specified border margins to calculate the final fabric cut dimensions.

## How to Use

1. **Enter stitch grid counts** — Input the design's stitch count wide and high from your pattern.
2. **Select Aida fabric count** — Choose the density of your fabric (e.g. 14, 16, or 18 stitches/inch).
3. **Set border margins** — Specify the desired border width on each side (standard is 2–3 inches).
4. **Read fabric cut sizes** — Review the design's physical size and the final fabric dimensions required for cutting.
