Cross Stitch/changing size of pattern

Expert: Angela - 11/19/2009


Question
I recently purchased a pattern which measures 13w x 20.5h inches on Evenweave 25 count.  Approximately how large would the pattern be if I did it on Aida 18?
Thank you

Answer
Hello, Ron

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with measurement changes if you stitch a design on a different sized fabric.  All I know is that there are 10 stitches per 1 inch when stitching on 14 count Aida.

I apologize for not being able to help you with your answer.

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. :)
