Which grid size to print
Print the grid that matches your fabric and a design drawn on it comes out the size it will stitch: 18 squares per inch for 18-count Aida, or for 36-count linen and evenweave stitched over two. A larger grid, such as 10 per inch, is easier to draw on; the chart is the same, only bigger than the stitching.
How big a grid do I need?
One Letter sheet holds 130 × 173 squares at 18 per inch with numbered edges. A larger grid prints on several sheets that join on the heavy ten-square lines. To find the fabric for a finished design, use the fabric calculator.
