CrossStitchCalculator.com started because sizing fabric shouldn’t require a spreadsheet—just enter stitches wide/high, choose your fabric count, decide if you stitch over 1 or over 2, add border and finishing, and you’re done. The calculator updates instantly so you can focus on stitching, not math.

What the calculator does

• Realtime sizing: stitched area and final fabric cut (with allowances)
• Aida & linen/evenweave friendly: pick threads-per-X (e.g., over-two on linen)
• Practical guidance: suggested tapestry needle and floss strands for full stitches/backstitch
• Precision control: adjust decimal precision to your preference
• Mobile-first: clean, fast UI that works great on phones

What I care about

• Accuracy first. Formulas are transparent and based on stitches-per-inch from your fabric count and threads-per-X.
• Privacy by default. No account required. Preferences like precision may be stored locally in your browser.
• Accessibility. Keyboard-friendly inputs, clear focus states, and readable typography.
• Speed & clarity. Minimal clutter, instant results.

What’s next

• Centimeters/mm display toggle
• Saved presets for common frame sizes
• Enhanced floss usage estimator with technique presets
• Dark mode and improved one-handed mobile ergonomics
