Aida cloth
Regarding the Grace & Love Birth Sampler, can this be converted to Aida count material? I have never worked with linen and would feel more comfortable with Aida cloth. Thanks.

Yes it can. The description says the pictured sample was stitched on 28-count, OVER 2.
If you do this stitch this pattern on 14-count AIDA going "over ONE, your finished pattern will be pretty close to be the same size that is listed in the description.
I just calculated by stitch count for 14-count Aida 'over one" and the finished pattern
will be 8 1/4" wide x 16" tall. You need to remember to add extra fabric ( minimum 2" extra on each side of pattern) for mounting and framing. I personally add 3" each side when calculating for size of fabric needed before I order.

There are several specialty stitches in the sampler that may be more difficult to do on Aida.
