I need to know the right size
I have a project calls for 14ct with 300 X 360 Stitches. So what size Aida do I need?

I get 29x33 inches, that leaves you with a 3 inch boarder.

What a beautiful design. The colors are so cheerful. I don't think you will get tired of stitching this one for sure. Pam

What I saw in purchasing... in the color I wanted and pricing is huge. too... an 18 x 21 and then 1 yard at 21 and 1 yard at 43. But, the 43" is over 33 dollars. I can't pay that much.

LuAnn, I haven't checked, but what if you went up in count. Did you try 18 or 20 count? That would make your project smaller and you would use less fabric. Pam

I have no clue what you mean by 18x21 and 21 by a yard....21 is way too short, not matter what you order. Unless you choose a higher count, as Pam suggests. Let me look at what is offered...
The DMC Gold Standard white is $16.35 for a piece 30 x 36....all I could get off of Wichelt was "out of stock". Maybe somebody else with a computer could get the Wichelt to work. You might call customer service Mon morning and speak with them. 😊

I picked antique white DMC gold standard fabric, since the picture looks like it is stitched on an off white fabric, and got $15.09 for 1 yard by 30 inches.

Probably a better color, too, for this pretty horse! 😊

I got 27 inches wide x 32 inches high INCLUDING the 3 inches on each side using 14-count Aida going β€˜over one.’

Just checked calculations again....

300 wide x 360 High pattern - finished size 21 1/2” wide
25 3/4” High

If rounding up, then fabric needs to be 28” wide x 32” high and that includes 3 inch border
