Print off and use this
guide as a reference for calculating the size of your finished project based on
the size of fabric used and the stitch count of the design
(this complete page actually prints off on 2xA4 sheets of paper - refer back
to my printing
instructions on how to print off the guide only)
Do remember that this guide does
not give you the measurements for CUTTING out your fabric. You will
need to add a generous amount to the measurements to allow for mounting.

For example:
a cross stitch project with a
stitch count of 36
high x 16 wide
worked on 14 hpi
count fabric the finished stitching size will be: 2¾
inch by 1¼ inch approx (7
cm x 3.2 cm) worked on 18 hpi
count fabric the finished stitching size will be: 2 inches by 1
inch approx. (5.1 cm x 2.5 cm)
The formula to work out how big
the design will be is to simply divide the height and width on the chart by the
number of holes per inch (hpi).
N.B. If
stitching over two threads of evenweave fabric remember to divide the hpi by
two, to give the number of holes per inch before calculating the design area.
