Ideally, I prefer 28ct fabric best because the size of stitches does not strain my eyes so much to work on.I haven't done any beading yet...(long story)....so I am unfamiliar with the difficulties of making beads sit right. The fact that the pictures are so large, and that I have to consider the cost of framing in the end, hascaused me to mainly focus on buying 32ct fabrics. I have found some perfect pieces for some of my charts,so I really hope I won't regret my purchases when it comes time to embellish!!! I like stitching with both types of fabric. Linen has really grown on me....and I prefer Belfast to Cashel. Itis understandable that people .. (like yourself) .. prefer the look of the linen fabric. I like the look of it better as well, but prefer the feel of working with evenweave. It is such a personal preference....you really can't talk someone into liking your preference. Either they do or they don't.As to your last question. 28ct having huge old holes?... no. They are a little bigger than the 32, of course, but the holes are not as obvious as aida. At least not in my experience. lol about your big baby. That's a great mindset!
