Question
what the different count fabrics mean
Hello Dawn :)
The different Aida counts gives you different sized finished projects. When it comes to evenweave fabric, like 22 count, 28, 30 and 32, etc., you typically stitch over 2 threads of the fabric. It'll still give you different sizes, though, when you have completed your project.
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. :)
