Hoop & Floss, the hand-embroidery handbook
A practical embroidery and cross-stitch reference with fabric-size calculations, charts, gear guides, and troubleshooting.
- For
- Hand embroidery and cross-stitch makers
- Worth noticing
- The calculator labels fabric sizing as exact while marking needle, strand, and skein figures as recommendations or estimates.
Field notes
The calculator accepts stitch dimensions, fabric count, thread coverage, and a configurable margin, then displays both the stitched area and a larger fabric-cut size. Its example separates exact arithmetic from recommendations: needle and strand choices are usual guidance, and the skein figure is an estimate. The broader handbook links material-selection notes, step-by-step guidance, gear guides, printable charts, and fixes for specific stitching problems.
