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, has
caused 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.  It
is 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!
