Question
Hi I have a pattern for 27 count evenweave but I would like to convert the pattern onto 16 count aida is this easy to do? The pattern is 160 stitches wide and 96 stitches high how much material will I need?
Thanks Catriona
Hello, Catriona :)
You can easily stitch any design onto any fabric. Simply take the design size (ie. 5"x7"), and add a minimum of 3" (ie. 8"x10"), and cut your fabric 8"x10". The extra 3" is a margin for framing, and to ensure that the design will fit on to the fabric.
I hope that makes sense. :)
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. :)
