I have a lot of 25 count easy grid fabric. I wasn't sure how my eyes would work with the fine count these days. I started Minervas Melody on 16 count for that reason, I decided to experiment. I stitched a small corner on 25 count, 8 started with 1 over 1 full cross, then switched to 2 over 1 tent. I liked the 2 over 1 tent, so think I will start future projects that way. It stitches up so much quicker. The advantage of 25 count over a larger grid is the thread goes further, so not as much rethreading is required .
I do have readers that fit over my glasses. I don't know the strength, but think it was quite low. I will try to get some at a higher magnification just to make it easier
I also stitched in hand in the hoop, and didn't mind that. The huge amount of excess fabric didn't seem to get in the way. It may be easier to get out than the Lowry stand.
