XStitch Time Calculator

Every activity takes time, be it leisure or the one which earns you a living. Not every activity needs to involve a computer, but there are different types of applications you can use to monitor time to get an idea on efficiency. For instance, XStitch Time Calculator is able to tell you how long it takes for you to finish stitching projects.

Before you can enjoy all the application has to offer, it’s a good idea to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality. However, XStitch Time Calculator is portable, so you’re saved the entire effort of going through a setup process.

As far as the visual design is concerned, all features are stored in a pretty compact window, which keeps an organized layout, letting you quickly get the hang of things. Several fields need to be filled in, all of which having an impact on the final result, which is the estimated time to complete your stitching project.

One of the core sets of details is related to the surface of the stitching project, which is specified in inches, with no option to pick a different unit of measurement. Both height and width need to be written down, with an additional field fitted with a drop-down menu for fabric count per inch.

Another set of details lets you set the program difficulty, letting you select one of three levels, such as simple, average, or professional. The last value refers to the number of seconds per stitch, which is a rough estimate based on your skill. Result is calculated at the press of a button and shown in a dedicated section.
