Fit stitch repeats between fixed edges
A target of 102 stitches with an eight-stitch repeat and four fixed edge stitches fits 100 or 108 stitches. The fixed edges are counted once, outside the repeated area.
Convert fabric thread-count units
Fabric count is a density. State both the number and its measuring span; the rounded metric display retains the exact conversion internally.
Chart dimensions and physical dimensions
Chart cells count logical stitches; centimeters describe the finished work. Determine physical size with the actual stitch density, not screen zoom or print scale.
