There are a couple of patterns that I want to order, but they require 30 count linen. I don't do linen. I know my limitations,ha! So, my question is, will 28 count evenweave work (over 2)? I don't mind if it makes a bit of difference in the project size. Thanks!

Yes you can do any pattern in any stitch count. Doing it in 28 count will make the project a bit larger than the pattern states. Since you are doing it over 2 threads just take your stitch count and divide it by 14 and then add how many inches you want for a border( make such to add enough for both sides). Do this for both the width and height stitch count. This will tell you how large a piece of fabric to buy.

Of course it will work, ck. I do it all the time. I don't like stitching on anything smaller than 28 ct over two of course. :) It'll just make your finished product a little larger. Be sure to use the fabric calculator so you can order the correct amount of fabric.

Thanks for your information! Texas, I am working on a project now with 36 count evenweave. I like the look of the fabric, but never again. LOL
