How It Compares

Compared to 1/4 inch (6.35mm) graph paper, the 5mm grid is slightly smaller and is the international metric standard. If you are in a metric country or printing for a non-US curriculum, 5mm is typically the better choice.

Printing Tip

Always print at 100% scale (Actual Size) — never use "Fit to Page" as this will distort the grid dimensions and the squares will no longer measure correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

11-count paper matches 11-count Aida and similar large-hole canvases (like Binca, used in schools). The larger squares make it the easiest count to work with — stitches are big and clearly visible, making it ideal for beginners learning counted cross-stitch and for children's craft projects. Designs worked on 11-count Aida are noticeably larger than on 14-count.

On 11-count Aida, each inch of fabric holds 11 stitches. A 55-stitch wide design finishes at exactly 5 inches wide. Compare this to 14-count, where the same 55-stitch design finishes at about 3.9 inches. 11-count is popular for children's projects because the larger finished size makes the work feel more satisfying after fewer stitches.

Yes. 11-count paper is useful for planning needlepoint designs on 11-mesh or 12-mesh canvas, where each square represents one canvas intersection. The larger grid is also helpful when designing with thicker yarn (instead of embroidery floss), as it gives an accurate sense of how the finished textured surface will look.
