[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic canvas

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

If you use the same patern on a small grid it will be smaller than if you use a larger grid.  
Say you are making a square, 20 by 20.  on 10 count canvis it will be smaller than on 7 count canvis, even though you used 20 squares in both items.  Seven count has larger squares and is easier to work with and I like the looks of the product better.
I was not tought any names for the stitches.  Cross stitch is done on a canvas with tiny holes.  I do have a book on stitches.  New stitches is something we can tackle as a group.  Lets learn the basics first.

If a pattern calls for 10 count plastic canvas what happens if you use 7 count instead?  What are the numbers related to?
