How to use cross stitch graph paper
Plan a counted-stitch pattern before working on fabric. Each grid square represents one stitch, and fabric count determines the finished size.
Match the grid to your fabric
Choose the fabric count and pattern width and height in stitches. Check that the grid leaves room for the entire design.
Draw one symbol per stitch
Mark the center, then build the motif square by square. Use a simple symbol or color key when using more than one thread color.
Check size before stitching
Divide stitches by fabric count to estimate inches on Aida. Leave fabric beyond the design for finishing and framing.
Try this. An 8-stitch-wide motif on 14-count Aida is about 0.57 inches wide. Stitch count and the printed grid scale are different measurements.
