Question
I just bought an Hinzeit pattern and it uses 28 count lugana fabric i am used to aida how do i do the stitch is it over 2 up 2 (if i can see any holes)like on linen please help
thank you
Hello, Barbara :)
It's very easy to stitch on Lugana fabric once you get the feel of it. Here's a website that I'm sure will help you get started:
http://www.needlework-tips-and-techniques.com/counted-cross-stitch.html
When you first start this, you'll need to take it slow at first. On the edges of the fabric, you can use either Fray Check or Stop Fray to prevent the fabric from fraying. Simply find your center as you would with Aida.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela

Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
