What does 32-count linen mean?

How many threads should I cross-stitch with?

Cross stitch is generally worked using two strands of stranded cotton when working on 14-count and 16-count Aida. It is perfectly acceptable to mix the number of threads used within the same project. You might want to alter the texture of the finished piece by working in one, two and even three strands.

Can you embroider on linen?

Linen is a very strong fabric and can handle complex designs, but the fluidity of the fabric will start to become an issue the heavier the design. When embroidering, I like to use a 75/11 needle and medium weight cutaway stabilizer. Run the iron over the fabric until it is smooth, not dry.
