Question
My pattern calls for a 28 ct aida. The finished size is 13 by 13. If I use a 14 ct aida, will the finished size be larger?
Hello Kris :)
Yes, your project will be a bit larger if you stitched your design onto 14 count instead of 28 count. You can use either 2 or 3 strands of floss for the design. The more threads will cover more fabric and leave less of the fabric showing through, of course.
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. :)
