AboutAngela 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. :)
Question I have a 14 count pattern for a checkbook cover.
However, I only have 18 count fabric.
How do I convert the pattern so I can use the 18 count?
Answer Hello, Aprile :)
You can stitch the design on the 18 count fabric just as you can on the 14 count. I have used 18 count Aida to stitch designs for checkbook covers in the past, and I prefer 18 count over 14 count for the covers as it gives you a bit more space to stitch.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
