Large framed hoops benefit from a bigger all-around margin, so wider fabric saves rows and cuts total yardage.
A practical rule is 2 to 3 inches extra on every side for stitching, and even more if you want to wrap the fabric around the hoop back for display. The calculator adds that allowance before converting to yardage.
Yes, but size the fabric from the longest finished dimension rather than the nominal hoop size. That keeps enough cloth outside the frame to tighten evenly without distorting the design.
Fabric width determines how many hoop cuts fit side by side. Moving from 44-inch to 54-inch fabric often reduces the number of rows you need and can save a noticeable amount of yardage.
Yes. Add 5 to 10% if you need to square the fabric, match grain, or make test placements. The wider or more loosely woven the cloth, the more useful that cushion becomes.
