Question
I working on the sugar and spice stocking from better homes and gardens. The floral broach pattern is not shown converted onto a 14 count fabric. Can you please let me know how to convert this pattern or where to find the answer.

Answer
Hello, Laura

To convert the brooch pattern onto 14 count Aida, simply count how many stitches the design is in width and length, and then add an extra 3" (or 30 stitches) all around as a margin.  Center your design as normal.

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela

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. :)
