Scaling a design scales its thinnest part 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 part	Cut length	Fit on a 12 in sheet	Rule of thumb
1 × 1 in (25 × 25 mm)	0.41 mm	571 mm	100	Too fine for most machines
2 × 2 in (51 × 51 mm)	0.81 mm	1,142 mm	25	Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care
3 × 3 in (76 × 76 mm)	1.2 mm	1,713 mm	9	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
4 × 4 in (102 × 102 mm)	1.6 mm	2,284 mm	4	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
6 × 6 in (152 × 152 mm)	2.4 mm	3,426 mm	1	Vinyl, card and thin sheet
8 × 8 in (203 × 203 mm)	3.3 mm	4,568 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic
12 × 12 in (305 × 305 mm)	4.9 mm	6,852 mm	1	Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic

The narrowest part is the thinnest neck that holds the design together; sharp tips are not counted. For wood and acrylic, keep it at least as wide as the sheet is thick. How to open the file in Cricut, Silhouette and laser software.
