How big is 7.14 x 5.36 for cross stitching?
As seen by my question, I am a true dunce when it come to maths and sizing.
I do not want to waste fabric by guessing.
The pattern shows a small picture, but due to my pure stupidity, I fear it will be the opposite.
I used my tape measure, but am fluxed with the 14 and 36 inch part and would appreciate some help

I'm not sure how best to help, but responding to your comment, it means that if you covered the item with one inch squares you'd need about 39 of them.
*If* the measurements you quote are full size, then it means a piece of fabric 8 inches by 6 inches would suffice. I'm sure fabric suppliers don't supply fabric precisely to one-hundredth of an inch.
Does it say anywhere "this picture is half (or whatever) actual size"?
Edit: is the picture covered in squares so that you can say "the pattern is (say) 140 stitches wide and (say) 65 stitches tall"? If so, then you should get a piece of fabric big enough to accommodate those number of stitches. Small stitch size, small fabric: big stitch, big fabric.
(You don't know much maths, I don't know anything about cross stitch. What could possibly go wrong..)
