Yes,, 14 count would be 14 stiches per inch, making the stitches bigger than the 18 count which would be 18 stitches per inch. I hope that makes sense.
Just another late night stitcher!!!

I read the question as Carole wanted to buy a pattern to give as a gift. Yes, 18 count fabrics will be finer than 14 count finished work. If you are buying a pattern only the count won't make a difference. If you are buying a kit make sure the fabric is 18 count. If you are buying a pattern and supplies on this site -- you will probably see the suggested supplies listed.

Cross Stitch supplies are wonderful gifts.

Thanks, Nancye. I guess I did not interpret this very well. Cross stitch as a gift is wonderful. Peace always. Pam

Hi Pam -- Recently I misinterpreted a posting and you pointed out what I had missed. I guess that makes us a good team.
Have a good week off. Shalom
