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
0.96 × 1 in (24 × 25 mm)	0.46 mm	311 mm	100	Too fine for most machines
1.92 × 2 in (49 × 51 mm)	0.91 mm	622 mm	25	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
2.89 × 3 in (73 × 76 mm)	1.4 mm	933 mm	9	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
3.85 × 4 in (98 × 102 mm)	1.8 mm	1,245 mm	6	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
5.77 × 6 in (147 × 152 mm)	2.7 mm	1,867 mm	2	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
7.7 × 8 in (195 × 203 mm)	3.7 mm	2,489 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
11.54 × 12 in (293 × 305 mm)	5.5 mm	3,734 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic

The narrowest join is the finest detail in the pattern. Below about half a millimetre it is too small to cut and may fill in when printed. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
