Fabric to use
Before I order this kit, I decided I want to use 14 count Aida cloth. I tried calculating what size I would need but still not sure I did it right. Someone out there that can help me?

Hello,

The sizing for this design on 14ct. is the same as it is on 28ct. so what is listed is the correct sizing. On 14tct. fabric you go over 1 and on 28ct. you go over 2 so the sizing ends up being the same for both counts. (the same goes for 16ct and 32ct) If you want to do the math though to just be sure you do the following:

Stitch count: 127 x 100
127 divided by 14 = 9.07 (or 9.1)
100 divided by 14 = 7.1

So you're finished stitched size would be 9.1" x 7.1
Make sure to add a few inches around the borders so you have enough for framing purposes. So just add how many inches you would like extra and add those to the finished stitched size. For example, if you wanted 6 inches extra around:

9.1 + 6 = 15.1
7.1 + 6 = 13.1

So you would need a fabric size of at least 15" x 13" to do this project. Hope this information helps :)
