Count Aida
Posted in cross stitch on 10/09/2010 12:18 pm by adminHow do I convert 8x8 square to the inch grid paper to 18 count aida fabric?
I have made my own design but cant figure out how to covert how many stitches or rows per square for the fabric,is there a better size of paper to use or can I work with this?
You may want to consider using graphing paper. It sounds a little strange, but it's an invaluable tool for deciding row stitching and counts.
Even better, if you do use graphing paper you can try:
http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/
On this site you can make your own custom graph paper, which I find is a great aid in converting drawings and pictures to cross stitch, needlepoint, or quilting patterns.
For 18 count Aida, you'll want to set up the paper with 18 lines/rows per inch so it will line up with the fabric of the same size.
An easy way to get your design on this graph paper is to print up the 18 count graph paper, then print the design on the same paper on top of the graph. If it's a drawing, you may need a scanner or a photocopier to transfer over the image.
Further, if you don't mind spending some money, there are several good programs out there that will do this conversion for you. For example:
http://www.ursasoftware.com/
With this software, you can load in an image, select color options, fabric sizes, etc. You can then print out patterns complete with a thread legend for easy purchasing.
Hope that helps.
