They all look great! Very ambitious. How do you like the 27 ct compared to the 25 ct? Coverage, ease of seeing stitches,bulkiness-especially if doing alot of confetti stitches, and any other pros or cons? What made you try one different count? And are these full crosses on both? I'm doing something on 25ct 1x1,pretty good coverage, but considering a tighter count for another picture, and just wondering. 28 had seemed just too small for a long time project.

I am loving the 27 count fabric. The coverage is alot better than the 25, and doing only one strand i can hardly see any fabric ( in saying that this design is mainly light colours) I find it very easy to see the stitches, but i find the 28 count i bought was easy to see also, at first it can seem weird but my eyes adjust after a day or so(just like jumping from 18 to 25 count). Their is only a few confetti heavy bits i have came across so far, but again i havent found any problems with it. If it were not for the 2 metres x 1.8 metres worth of 25 count i need to use up, all my projects would be done on 27/ 28 count fabric, as i am really loving working on this.

I got the 27 count fabby as i was impatient and didnt want to wait on fabric getting delivered, and it was the only fabric that was in stock at my local stitching shop, and so i decided to get it and try. Must say i am really glad i did. I do love the 25 count, but i love having less show through

Thank you all.

I dont think i am brave, i just get fed up doing only one design, so have several on the go. By january i think i will be up at 9 (possibly 13) but i am trying to stay at 10 or less
