Stitch-Mate - Custom Cut Board
How to Size a Custom Display Board
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Finish Your Cross-Stitch Piece: Mount your completed cross-stitch onto your mat board to ensure accurate measurements.
- Measure Your Finished Piece: Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the width and height of your mounted piece.
- 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.
- 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”
