This was exactly what I was looking for! I'm a cross stitch newb and ordered an 18CT 16inx34in Rivendell(Lord of the Rings) kit! I got the highest count on the pattern so my piece could have better detail. Anywho... I was unsure whether I should use single or double strands and wanted to see what both looked like. Your video made me realize I probably wanna go with 2strands because I like the coverage better on the 18CT swatch. Also makes me wish the pattern came in 22CT because I liked single strand on that swatch even better. Thank you!
Thanks for this informative video! I have a previous project wherein I used 2 strands on a 14ct aida and I didn't like that I'm seeing white parts in the background 😅 that's why when I started a new project, I experimented on using 4 strands on 14ct since I liked how it covered most white parts, especially it's a portrait one. But I'm working on the pattern for my next project and I'm considering using higher count aida since it will be too big if I use a 14ct one so I'm looking into the different aida cloths and stitches for reference. Your video has taught me a lot!
Sorry for the delay in my response. That number corresponds to that amount of squares in an inch. So that means for 14 count there will be 14 stitches in an inch.
this was super helpful, im a newbie so i'll definitely reference this video for a hot minute until i memorize my preferences😂😃
Glad to help!!

Holy shoot...I use 4 on 18 ct....it does turn out stiff, but the coverage (for my preference) is amazing! Oh and I do half stitch
Excellent video!

I’m glad it was helpful for you!
Thank u so much ❣️❣️
Interesting video. Take care
Thanks 👍
can u incorporate 3 threads and 2 threads stitching?.
Sure I don’t see why not. It’s all about personal preference.
Can i use 3 strand and 4 strand in just one project ?
How do I know if the fabric is 14, 16, 18 count? 😅

@@8BitStitch Thank you!
Please can you reply asap how many strands do i use
Depends on the Aida count you’re using. Standard is 2 or 3 for 14 count.
