Question
I have a pattern thats 18" BY 25" stitched on 25 ct. linen...how can I change it to 18 ct. Aida...thanks
Hello, Alice :)
You don't need to change anything. Simply stitch the design onto the 18 count Aida instead of the 25 count linen. Be sure to cut your fabric 6" extra then the design size. For instance, since your design is 18"x25", you'll need to cut the 18 count Aida 24"x31" so that the design will fit squarely, and you'll have extra for framing.
I hope that helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
Sincerely,
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. :)
