I have a pattern that is 5"x 7"3/4 (70 w x 110 h) stitches what?

I also have fabric Aida 14 count.

How do I measure this on it?

I never had to cut my own fabric.

I feel a little lost.

Thank you very much.

Once you know how much material you need, then get a ruler and some scissors, perhaps a pencil if it makes you feel more competent (or is that just me?), and off you go! Snip Snip

Thank you.

I normally add three inches all around to allow for finishing/framing so a design 5 inches wide I would allow 11 inches total fabric width (5 inches for the design, 3 inches on the left and 3 inches on the right) so the 7 3/4 height I would allow 13 and 3/4 inches total. Some people leave a smaller border but that's up to you.
14cnt is easy to cut though, just measure, snip and follow the holes and I second the yarn tree calculator!

What I do before cutting fabric is not just measure, but also grid out the outline of the pattern using some sewing thread. That way you're doubly sure that you're cutting correctly.

Thank you all great info.
