What is a cross stitch cloth

The embroidered cloth of the cross-stitch is in the form of a grid, and the square eye is square, corresponding to the pattern, and can be cut according to the size of the pattern. The species is usually divided into six specifications: 9CT, 11CT, 14CT, 18CT, 22CT, and 32CT.

There are also many brands of cross-stitch fabrics, ZW in Germany, orange-side cloth in Yedan, South Korea, DMC in France, and of course domestic. Generally, orange-edged cloth is more commonly used. There are also many types of cloth, such as ordinary cotton cloth, plastic cloth, linen cloth, color silk cloth, etc., which can be selected according to needs.

Embroidery cloth size calculation

As a newbie, I started to hurt the cloth. Please don't worry. Generally speaking, the embroidery will tell you the actual number of grids. If you know this, and you want to use the CT number of the cloth, use The following method makes it easy to calculate the size of the desired embroidery fabric.

Cross stitch embroidered cloth calculation table (1inch = 2.6cm):

9CT: 1CT = 0.289cm

11CT: 1CT = 0.272cm

14CT: 1CT = 0.179cm

16CT: 1CT = 0.156cm

18CT: 1CT = 0.139cm

For example: the number of grids of a certain work is 142X159. I want to embroider with 14CT embroidered cloth. What is the actual size of its work in centimeters?

According to the above formula of 14CT embroidered cloth: 142X0.179=25.42 (cm)

159X0.179=28.46(cm)

The actual size of the work is: 25.42cmX28.46cm

Note: Through the above calculations, what you get is the actual size of the embroidery, you should not rush to start cutting, because we have not added the left side of the work.

In general, we will leave a white border of equal size around the work so that it can be installed in the future. A white border is usually 5cm, so we have to add 2X5cm=10cm to the actual size of the work.

That is to say, the size of the above-mentioned piece actually needs to be cut: 35.42cmX38.46cm.

A little dizzy? There will always be more solutions to one question. Tell you a versatile formula:

Formula: number of grids / CT number X2.54 + margin distance (cm) X2 = fabric size (cm)

Example: 142 grid X159 grid, embroidered with 14CT cloth, how much cloth?

Substitute formula: 142/14X2.54+5X2=35.76(cm)

159/14X2.54+5X2=38.85(cm)

It is necessary to embroider cloth: 35.76X38.85 cm.

Comparison and identification of various cross stitch fabrics

The DMC cross-stitch cloth edge is the kind of square blue edge that is attached to the upstairs. The hole is large and square, and it feels a bit numb. It feels like a cotton.)

The Italian fabric has just appeared in China, which is similar to cc's chemical fiber fabric, but its cotton content is about 8:2 (cotton: unknown fiber). The fabric holes and lattice are square, and the fabric feels very scratchy. The requirements for embroidery are not high, and the weight of the hand will not change the shape of the hole.
