Using 36ct instead of 28...

I have a 11"x 17" design that uses 14ct aida or 28 ct evenweave...
but i read somewhere if want to make the design smaller, can use maybe 36 ct evenweave? is this okay?

Yes, using 36ct will make your finished project smaller and its definitely okay, if thats what you want.The higher the thread count, the smaller your finish will be.

I love stitching on high counts.The finished project has a delicate look I love:)

I love to read your comment, could you share your work in higher fabric, I love to see it, because I never heard about fabric more than 28ct :$ thank you

I think every pattern will come more clear and more beautiful on higher count.. the smaller your result will be, the more beautiful it will becomes :)

I have always favored the 32 count myself, I have only stitched on 28 if necessary to get a specific finished size.

I prefer the 28ct too.The finish is nicer and looks more like a picture.
