fabric count question, 28 vs 18
Posted: Thu Oct 17, 2013 9:46 pm
I'm fairly new to this site and cross stitching. hi! I saw this lovely pattern for " the accolade" some wonderful person made and posted in the classic painting thread.. ( the accolade is towards the bottom)
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5819&start=10
the pdf pattern says 28 count. the pattern is 150 stitches by 200.I read online somewhere that 14 count aida and 28 count even weave fabric are actually the same and produce the same sized projects. Assuming you stitch over 2 on the even weave. So following that, would using 18 count aida in place of 28 make for a smaller picture? ( which would be preferable for me)
Lastly, I've read around the site and I've noticed people commenting that colors can be off on kg chart. should I worry about that? I was planning on just using the colors it listed.
