I am currently doing a cross stitch project (a cow) that is 3-1/2 inches in a round frame on 18ct. Aida cloth. I'm having trouble seeing the small squares. I would like to redo it on 14ct. Aida cloth. Can I do that? If so, I'm not sure on how to figure out what size of cloth to cut. I have a stitch converter wheel. It says to count the total number of stitches in the piece. Most of the stitches are back spaces with no stitches in them. Do I count these back space areas as stitches? How big should I make the piece of fabric? -- Linda Delcamp from Brighton, MI

- It's not really the actual stitches that you count but the number of squares on the graph. Divide by the count to get inches. 3-1/2" on 18ct should be 4-1/2" on 14ct. -- Marv Schier from Crosstitch.com -- Dec 23

About Copyrights:
Copyright patterns may not be copied and given to someone else. It's against the law and it's dishonest. On the Internet, one copy can quickly turn into one million which basically takes away the need for people to buy the patterns, which puts the designers out of business. You can give away, trade, or sell the original leaflet though.
