I have a pattern (350W X 226H) 14Wx9H inches on 25ct linen. Want to use 16ct Aida. What size fabric should I purchase?

    This is the size I came up with for your fabric conversion: 28" x 20" for the 16 count aida. Here's how my math went - I divided 350 by 16 = 22 inches rounded up and then 226 by 16 = 14.125. So now we have 22 x 14.125 plus you want to have 3 inches extra on all 4 sides which is 22 6 = 28 and then 14.125 6 = 20.125 OR 28 by 20.

    Hope you do well with this large project!
