Help - Amount of Aida cloth needed

I am new at doing patterns and currently have a project that is 6.43" W x 7.36" H (85 x 99 stitch) on 14ct Aida. How much additional material do I need to frame this when completed. I guess what I am asking is how much material do you add to the edges once you know your design area.

Thanks

I usually do 2-3 inches each side.

Framers can do real well with as little as an inch all around I'm told. I've also been told a good 2.5 inches or more all around is better.

I agree with karriboo.   The more material the easier it is to finish the project; however you plan to finish it.

I agree with karriboo.
If you want space (air) between the work and the frame I think 3 or 4 inches on around is better.

Personally, I try to leave 2-3 inches around

I would also leave about 2 inches of space. Perhaps a bit more or less depending on the size of the project. Sometimes one can be leave too much which can get in the way of a good framing job, which happened to me once.
