Try increasing the number of strands you're using from two to three (or even four) or try not skipping holes for a denser look.

After you decide how big you want your cross to be (and that's purely personal preference), you'll have to count across the threads for each stitch. As long as you stay in the same "row" when starting and ending each stitch you should be fine. And it gets easier after the first row because janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373382919479493215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11991763.post-1165003607694316032006-12-01T15:06:00.000-05:002006-12-01T15:06:00.000-05:00I am so very grateful for your stitch school.

I do have a question about using linen vs. aida ~ How do you know how big to make the stitch if you do not have the aida holes? I am afraid to have uneven stitches without my aida. I have some beautiful patterns from an older cross stitch magazine and they show it on linen and I am afraid to try.
