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.

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

Yes, using 36ct will make your finished project smaller and it's definitely okay, if that's what you want.  The higher the thread count, the smaller your finish will be.

I love stitching on high counts.  The finished project has a delicate look I love:)

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.
