How to Size a Custom Display Board

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Finish Your Cross-Stitch Piece: Mount your completed cross-stitch onto your mat board to ensure accurate measurements.
2. Measure Your Finished Piece: Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the width and height of your mounted piece.
3. Decide on a Border Size: Determine how much of a border you want to show around your piece.
   • Example: If you want ½” of space all the way around, you need to add 1 inch to both the width and height.
4. Calculate Your Custom Board Size:
   • Formula: Finished Cross-Stitch Size+(2×Desired Border)\text{Finished Cross-Stitch Size} + (2 \times \text{Desired Border})
   • Example:
     • Finished piece: 4” x 6”
     • Desired border: ½” all around → Add 1” total
     • Final board size: 5” x 7”
