How fine is it at your size?

Scaling a design scales its finest detail too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.

Size, width × height	Narrowest join	Cut length	Fit on a 12 in sheet	Rule of thumb
1 × 0.13 in (25 × 3 mm)	Over 1.5 mm	102 mm	370	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
2 × 0.25 in (51 × 6 mm)	Over 3 mm	203 mm	135	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
3 × 0.37 in (76 × 10 mm)	Over 4.6 mm	305 mm	63	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
4 × 0.5 in (102 × 13 mm)	Over 6.1 mm	406 mm	34	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
