Embroidery design-fit calculator

Check whether your design's width and height fit inside a machine's stated embroidery field. Use a sourced model or enter the field from your own machine manual.

1. Your design

Use positive decimal numbers. Each dimension must be at most 10,000 mm (about 393.7 inches). Include the complete design bounding box.

2. Your embroidery field

Only models with usable field dimensions and an HTTPS source can be calculated. If your model is unavailable, enter its field manually.

Your result

Ready when you are

Enter your design dimensions and choose an embroidery field to begin.

What this check tells you

This calculator compares rectangular dimensions only. A fit does not establish hoop compatibility, clearance around a design, fabric suitability, stitch quality, or whether your machine can read a particular file.

The design fits when its width and height are each no larger than the stated field. With rotation enabled, the calculator also checks the dimensions after a 90-degree turn. One inch equals 25.4 millimeters. The calculation does not resize, split, or edit your design.

Before you stitch

  1. Read the exact design dimensions in your design file or software, including any border or lettering.
  2. Confirm the usable embroidery field for your machine, hoop, and setup in the manufacturer's documentation.
  3. Use the same units or choose the appropriate unit for each set of dimensions. Treat a boundary fit cautiously and follow the manual's clearance requirements.
  4. Check the file format and setup in your machine documentation before stitching.

Sources and missing data

Model dimensions are supplied with a reference source. Missing dimensions or an unusable source return insufficient data. Manual fields are values you supply and are not independently verified by this tool.

Find your exact manual through Brother support (opens in a new tab) or Janome support (opens in a new tab). Manufacturer specifications are research sources; we do not claim hands-on testing.
