If you like the texture of the stitches, then you have found the number of strands you would use. If you don&#8217;t like the texture then add another strand or reduce the number as the case may be, and stitch another swatch.<\/p>\n<p>When stitching on 14 ct. fabric, I generally like to stitch with two strands;\u00a0 however, that may make the crossed stitches too thin for your taste.
