The pattern stitch count is 266 x 266 and contains some over 1 in her name, date and the year which would make it unsuitable for stitching on Aida without adaptation. There are also some satin stitches and a few half stitches but the sampler is predominantly cross stitch over 2.
Our model is stitched using 1 strand floss for the over 2 crosses using Weeks Dye Works threads (a DMC conversion is included). The finished size on 36ct fabric is approximately 14 3/4 x 14 3/4 inches (37.5 x 37.5 cm).
