Baseline comparison

Save a baseline, then change your inputs. The difference is current minus baseline. Saved values stay in this browser.

Use the result

Count a small measured section of the actual fabric and confirm the over-one or over-two convention before cutting.

Know the boundaries

Assumptions that matter

  1. Aida commonly uses one hole interval per stitch; evenweave stitched over two threads uses a value of 2.
  2. Check whether the supplied fabric count is threads or stitches per inch.
  3. The border is added independently to all four sides.
  4. Framing, lacing and hoop placement may need more surrounding fabric.

Common questions

How is the result calculated?

The formula reference shows every equation and defines the input variables. Whole-item results explicitly round to whole quantities where needed.

How should I use the example?

The initial numbers are a worked example. Replace them with measurements from your own project before making a plan. Three calculated scenarios appear on the examples page.

Can I compare two plans?

Yes. Save a baseline, change one or more inputs, and compare the result table. The chart changes only one input at a time.

Does this upload my measurements?

No. Calculations run in this browser. Saving a baseline uses local browser storage; the scenario-link button includes entered numbers in a URL fragment you choose to share.
