Estimate how much embroidery floss — and how many DMC skeins — you need for your project. A standard skein is ~7.95 m (8.7 yd).
How it works
Each stitch covers 2.54 ÷ count inches of fabric. Length per stitch is scaled by the number of strands and a waste factor (two diagonals for a full cross, one line for backstitch). Results are estimates — actual usage depends on tension, thread starts/ends, and stitching style.
