Counted cross-stitch kits generally have enough floss for the stitcher to use only two strands with 14ct. fabric. When you are using a design where you provide your own floss, the number of strands you use is flexible. Many of the stitched models that are photographed have been stitched with three strands.
If you have any doubts about how many strands to use, make a test swatch with the desired number. If you like the texture of the stitches, then you have found the number of strands you would use. If you don’t like the texture then add another strand or reduce the number as the case may be, and stitch another swatch.
When stitching on 14 ct. fabric, I generally like to stitch with two strands;Â however, that may make the crossed stitches too thin for your taste. Remember, you can control how it looks. Isn’t it nice that we can control at least one thing in our lives? That makes our needlework habit so worth it!
