Question
hi. im wanting to cross stitch a design thats on white monaco 28 count. i only stitch on 14 count aida fabric. the pattern calls for a 21 x 25 piece of 28 count white monaco fabric. how can i do it on my 14 count fabric and figure out the size i need? thanks for your help?

Answer
Hello, Stephanie :)

The size of the design should be printed in the legend where the colors are.  And yes, you can stitch it on 14 count Aida. :)  If your design size is 5"x7", you'll need to add an extra 3" to that size minimum, which will make it 8"x10" for the fabric size.

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. :)
