Question
I will be cs my granddaughters photo 11 x 14 18 count. how may threads and what size and type of needle do I use? Thanks so much, Debbie
Hi Debbie -
This sounds like a beautiful project! On 18 count fabric, I would use 2 threads and a 22 or a 24 tapestry needle. I prefer the platnium needles to the gold. I think they hold up better.
I hope this was helpful!
Happy Stitching!
Kris
