EP-0008 - How to Measure Fabric for Pattern - cross-stitch x-stitch needlepoint flosstube



Hello, and welcome to The Stitching Kitchn. I'm going to show you how to figure out what
size fabric to use for your pattern. So many of them give you 9 by 12 ... 14-1/2
By 12-1/2 ...

But they don't combine the two or tell you "hey, buy a quarter of a yard!" So, we're going to do some different things. First of all, here's the Stitching Kitchn
note paper. It's on the website (www.BrushStreetDesignWorks.Com)
free. Go download it so you can write this stuff
down.

This is the measurement of a standard yard
of fabric from a stitching store. Or any standard yard. A little bit more than a fabric from a fabric
store but this is for stitching. This is ...

A quarter yard is eighteen wide
by twenty-seven inches high. A half a yard is thirty-six inches wide by
twenty-seven inches high ... OR ... Eighteen inches wide and fifty-four inches high.

There are a lot of patterns that go this way
... Right? ... Not this way. And then a natural yard of linen or evenweave
equals thirty-six wide by fifty-four.

Very rarely will you need this large measurement
or this measurement or even this measurement. The average is eighteen inches wide by twenty-seven
inches high. So, doing our math on our project ... There are
eighteen inches wide by twenty-seven inches high.

Now our pattern is ten and three-eighths inches
wide by sixteen point four two. I always round up. So, this becomes eleven and this becomes seventeen. We add six inches ...

Three inches for each
side. So, the pattern ... Piece of fabric we need
is seventeen by twenty-three. So, if you look at this, eighteen wide by
twenty-seven high.

That will be the perfect size for your pattern. If you have any questions about that, notify
me: Sharon @ BrushStreetDesignWorks.Com. Ok, folks, thanks for joining us. Don't forget! ...
