1/8 Inch Graph Paper
Eighth-inch graph paper packs eight squares into every inch — fine enough for detailed drawings without straining your eyes, with a bolder line every inch. Generate it on Letter or A4 and print or download a vector PDF.
What is 1/8 inch graph paper?
- Each minor square is 0.125 inches on a side, so eight squares fit across one inch.
- A heavier line every 8 squares marks each full inch, giving you a built-in ruler.
- The fine pitch suits detailed work that quarter-inch paper is too coarse for.
What is it good for?
- Quilting and cross-stitch, where each square maps to a patch or stitch.
- Fine engineering sketches and dimensioned drawings.
- Floor plans and scale layouts where one square is a set distance.
1/8 inch vs 1/4 inch vs 1/10 inch
- ⅛" (0.125 in) — eight per inch; fine detail.
- ¼" (0.25 in) — four per inch; the classic general-purpose grid.
- 1/10" (0.1 in) — ten per inch; decimal engineering work.
