Hello, I am fan of Lavender & Lace designs, however, I do not have this one. I did some research on this website looking at fabrics. Yes, you can use a different fabric that is easier to see! I found 16 count Aida cloth on this website in Twilight Blue. The actual design area would stay the same as on a 32 count fabric. Most of us allow 3 inches on each side for framing. You would need a piece of 16 count Aida: 20.4" wide and 22.6" high. You can purchase a piece 25" x 36" on this website for $22.19 which is much less expensive. I would caution you about choosing another shade of blue fabric though. I looked at the DMC colors in the design. There are various blues and violets. I am sure the designer recommends this blue because it will coordinate with the recommended DMC colors. I hope this makes sense to you!!!

(I have a piece of the 32 count Twilight Blue linen....it is a very nice color!)
