Never miscut a piece of expensive linen or Aida again! 🪡✨
StitchFabric Size Planner is the ultimate fabric cut calculator, stash buster, and needlework project companion designed by stitchers, for stitchers. Whether you are starting a massive sampler, a quick ornament, or framing an embroidery hoop, StitchFabric eliminates the guesswork and gives you exact, reliable cutting measurements in seconds.
A single miscut cut of 28ct or 32ct linen can cost $15 to $35. StitchFabric protects your precious stash, saves your fabric budget, and plans your stitching sanctuary with zero math headaches.
🧵 WHY NEEDLEWORKERS LOVE STITCHFABRIC:
📐 EXACT FABRIC CUTS WITH FRAMING BORDERS
• Enter your pattern chart dimensions (stitches or inches/cm).
