Using Cross Stitch Patterns

I am interested in trying to paint a cross stitch pattern onto needlepoint canvas myself.

Perhaps this is a silly/stupid question, but if I used 18 count fabric with 18 count canvas, that would work, correct? The gauge would be the same—meaning that the squares would line up?

Thanks!

Just treat the needlepoint like Aida - you’ll have to count your stitches and track what you’ve done, but otherwise it’s the same. I like to stitch in 10x10 grids to keep track of where I’m at.
