Embroidery design centering
Calculate equal side and top margins before transferring a design.
Formula and assumptions
Remaining width and height are divided according to the selected 0–100% placement. Fifty percent centers the design; lower or higher values produce asymmetric margins. A design larger than the fabric is rejected.
Worked example
Example: a 24 × 18 cm design centered on 40 × 30 cm fabric leaves 8 cm at each side and 6 cm at top and bottom.
Limits and rounding
Results are planning estimates from the values entered. Displayed decimals are rounded for craft use; whole materials and repeats round up where the method says so. Confirm gauge, material behavior, construction, and finished measurements before committing supplies.
