I have that pattern in my “to do” pile - so beautiful! My experience with MG Textiles fabric has resulted in the stitch count going across being one stitch longer than the stitch count going down. I tested this by stitching 2 over 2 across for 14 stitches and 2 over 2 down 14 stitches and measured the stitches to see if it was 1 inch both ways. Your fabric may be fine, mine wasn’t. Sorry if I confused you, but I don’t want you to find out too late after putting hours of work in the piece.
Oh my. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing. But I've read this comment too late. I have already stitched a bit in the middle. I think I will be okay since the pattern or design doesn't have to be a perfect square (I hope -fingers crossed) but I am grateful for the tip. I will remember this next time I will use MG textiles.
Your resiliency is commendable 😊 the sampler is lovely. I am starting a new sampler today for a Leap year SAL group on fb. I have no business starting something new but hey, leap year only comes once in 4 years!!!
That is great Heather. Thanks for letting me know about a Leap Year SAL.. I am not part of it but seems like I am doing like you all are doing. We all like new starts. :D
That sampler is beautiful, I think the fabric just works perfect! 😍 Your patient was really tested haha, good job!
Thank you :) :)

2 over 1 on 28ct sounds like a squeeze. I think I'd have used just one thread, but your solution works fine too. It's looking good so far!
Indeed, it was a squeeze :D . Thank you much.
