About This Advanced Calculator

This all-in-one embroidery calculator is designed to be the only planning tool you'll need. It not only calculates your project's final design size based on fabric count and dimensions but also helps you prepare for the entire project. Use it to determine the **total amount of fabric to cut** by adding a custom border for framing. Plus, our **floss estimator** gives you a solid idea of how many skeins to buy, preventing last-minute trips to the store. It's built for all types of fabric, with a special toggle for linen and evenweave stitchers.

How to Use the Calculator

1. Core Details: Enter your fabric's thread count and the width/height of your pattern. Select whether your dimensions are in stitches, inches, or cm.
2. Framing & Floss: Adjust the border size you want around your design (e.g., 3 inches) and the number of floss strands you'll be using (usually 2).
3. Linen/Evenweave: If you're using a high-count fabric and stitching over two threads, check the "Stitch over two" box. This will correctly calculate the size as if it were on a fabric with half the count (e.g., 28-count becomes 14-count).

The results instantly update below, showing your design size, the total fabric dimensions to cut, and your estimated floss needs.
