Fabric
I liked the design but wondering if it's printed on the fabric and certain parts are to be cross stitched or the whole design is to be cross stitched.
If yes then can we do on 14 Aida?

Hello latakriplani :)
This pattern is not printed on the fabric. The entire design is to be cross stitched. It is a black and white chart using full cross stitches only.
There is another post for this design regarding your question on 14 Aida and I have copied and pasted it for you below :


Using a different size aida cloth

I like this pattern, but was wondering if you have a pattern for it using 14 count aida instead of 18?

Hi ebby 929-

Since this is just a pattern, you can change it to 14 count (I often do this with patterns) but it will make the stitched design much bigger 16.0" x 9.0" rounded up approximately for the design size alone. This does not include an additional 6.0" to these figures for framing. To change to 14 count, you divide the number of stitches 224 and 125 by 14 and add 6 inches to each # for framing (I always round my answers up). Better off more fabric than too little---so I would cut my fabric for this no smaller than 22.0" x 15.0". This design is fully stitched so this will be an ambitious project. It is beautiful and since I love the fall, I have my eye on this one too. Happy stitching.



Hi ebby 929:

I liked this pattern choice so much I just purchased it yesterday! This item is sold as a pattern only. If you wish to purchase the "suggested" fabric which is 18 count it is listed below the picture of the pattern under the supplies tab along with the DMC floss and you can check the boxes for what you want. If you want to change to 14 count aida which is what I will be doing, follow my suggestion above for fabric size when purchasing---and yes you're correct, the 14 count fabric will be cut larger (14 stitches per inch of fabric instead of 18 stitches per inch of fabric) and is, I feel, easier on the eyes. Happy stitching to you.


Don't forget, when you increase the pattern size, besides the material, you will also be using more embroidery floss.
