Using 36ct instead of 28...

I have a 11"x 17" design that uses 14ct aida or 28 ct evenweave...
but i read somewhere if want to make the design smaller, can use maybe 36 ct evenweave? is this okay?

mgrurbbg Publish time 2021-12-4 07:37

With few exceptions, you can stitch any design on any count of fabric -- higher counts will result in smaller images, lower counts are larger and more blocky.Things get even smaller when some (slightly crazy!) people stitch over 1 on 36 or 40 count.As others have said, the size of the design will be #stitches/stitches per inch, so it's easy to calculate.

Flirti Publish time 2021-9-14 06:15

why don´t you use 18ct Aida? or 16ct... the higher the count the smaller the stitches (Aida, stitched over 1 Thread - evenweace or co you normally stitch over 2 threads, but also can stitch over 1 thread!

starla88 Publish time 2024-4-11 17:58

I prefer to stitch in linen 32ct and above. For big sampler, I like doing it either in 36ct or 40ct.

Juliasolo Publish time 2018-12-3 15:55

I prefer higher counts: the picture always looks better and sometimes the size matter

I love to read your comment, could you share your work in higher fabric, I love to see it, because I never heard about fabric more than 28ct :$ thank you

I think every pattern will come more clear and more beautiful on higher count.. the smaller your result will be, the more beautiful it will becomes :)

I have always favored the 32 count myself, I have only stitched on 28 if necessary to get a specific finished size.
