I would use Wichelts Mushroom 14ct. Aida cloth for this pattern. A 14ct. Aida size would be 15. 4 inches x 19.8 inches so you would need a piece of fabric 22 inches x 26 inches. I always add 3 inches on a side for framing. Hope this helps.

thank you for your reply. So I will use same beads even I will use 14 ct fabric?

Certainly, and set a sharp needle out & ready to pierce the Aida for part stitches.

And a beading needle to pass through the beads!

Because the model is stitched on a 32 count linen, the Aida equivalent would be 16 count. You can use a 14 , but keep in mind you may need more thread, and the beads will be farther apart than on a 16.

I just love Mirabilia designs. I use the linen and when I apply beads, I cross stitch them in. In other words, the "X" is inside the bead and I go into all four corners (it stays tighter that way). I also use either the floss color that matches the bead or I also have used what looks like fishing line (clear).

You won't regret stitching this one. It's beautiful!
