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
0.82 × 1 in (21 × 25 mm)	0.46 mm	268 mm	110	Too fine for most machines
1.64 × 2 in (42 × 51 mm)	0.91 mm	535 mm	30	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
2.45 × 3 in (62 × 76 mm)	1.4 mm	803 mm	12	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
3.27 × 4 in (83 × 102 mm)	1.8 mm	1,071 mm	6	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4.91 × 6 in (125 × 152 mm)	2.7 mm	1,606 mm	2	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
6.54 × 8 in (166 × 203 mm)	3.7 mm	2,142 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
9.82 × 12 in (249 × 305 mm)	5.5 mm	3,213 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.
