About 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. :)

You are here: Experts > Hobbies > Cross-Stitch > Cross Stitch > 25c Lugana Fabric
Expert: Angela - 11/5/2009
Question
Hi, I am just about to undertake a Scott Gustafson design, "Advice from a Caterpillar". I was advised by the online chart supplier to use 25ct Lugana fabric, which I have purchased. It says to stitch the design over 1 stitch. It also says that one or two strands of floss can be used - depending on your preference. I have never stitched over 1 before and am unsure if only using one strand would be too "thin" a coverage, or using two strands of floss would make it too "thick". Please give me some guidance here.
Many thanks!!
Dawn
Answer
Hello, Dawn :)
You can try stitching a small sample (a couple of rows of 5 stitches) in a corner both using 1 strand over 1 fabric, or using 2 strands over 1 fabric thread. You will see which one suits you the best.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
Angela :)
