Default cross stitch lovers: to grid or not to grid?

One more question Joan...What count aida would be the equivalent to 28ct linen?


That would be 14. The count refers to how many threads per inch and
typically you stitch over 2 threads on linen...28 divided by 2=14. 32
ct. would be equal to 16 ct. Some designs (Heaven & Earth's *beautiful*
designs, in particular) are stitched over 1 thread, which is why they
can get such intricate details. The face on my Fairy Grandmother (by
Lavender & Lace) is done over one and really brings it to life!

Thank you to everyone for your helpful comments!

Happy to!!!

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
