Free for personal and commercial use, no sign-up. What you can do with it.
Fold a strip of paper in half nine times the same way, open every fold to a right angle, and this is its edge: 512 steps. The corners are cut so you can see that the line touches itself but never crosses.

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 part | Cut length | Fit on a 12 in sheet | Rule of thumb |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.84 × 1 in (21 × 25 mm) | 0.25 mm | 680 mm | 110 | Too fine for most machines |
| 1.68 × 2 in (43 × 51 mm) | 0.51 mm | 1,361 mm | 30 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 2.52 × 3 in (64 × 76 mm) | 0.76 mm | 2,041 mm | 12 | Fine detail: vinyl and paper only, weed with care |
| 3.36 × 4 in (85 × 102 mm) | 1 mm | 2,722 mm | 6 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 5.04 × 6 in (128 × 152 mm) | 1.5 mm | 4,083 mm | 2 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 6.72 × 8 in (171 × 203 mm) | 2 mm | 5,444 mm | 1 | Vinyl, card and thin sheet |
| 10.08 × 12 in (256 × 305 mm) | 3 mm | 8,166 mm | 1 | Any material, including 3 mm wood and acrylic |
The narrowest part 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.
