I am doing a wedding announcement in cross stitch via PC Stitch. The pattern came out 10 x 10 (so how big of piece of fabric do I need? Also I am trying to convert the letters to cross stitch. I have counted it out and the longest line is 404 boxes across. Hwo do I put htis on the material?
The picture in the design itself may be 10x10 stitches, but if you intend to insert text there too you need to know how big the whole design is, incl. image(s) and text.
Unless you want to stitch them as separate projects, and that is not what you want to do, I presume.

The wedding announcement has two designs on it, which are each 8 x 8 (stitches per inch) (Per PC Stitch). The total number of word lines are 181 and the longest line has 404 (word stitches). How large a piece of Aida cloth will I need? I am doing this on 10 count.
To determine the fabric size you need to know how big the whole design is (in stitches from where you can count the actual size of the whole thing and go on determining the fabric size) including the text.
