Question
hi i have a pattern 150w 150h cloth count 10 i wanted to know how to work the size out for aida size 14 as i pafere to work on count 14 thanks njs
Hello, NJS
In order to determine the size of fabric needed to stitch your project, you'll need to take the actual size of the design (ie. 5"x7"), and then add a minimum of 3" to the design size making it 8"x10". The extra minimum of 3" allows you to frame your design once it's stitched.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
