What is the smallest count fabric you have ever used? Did you stitch over one? Conversely, what is the largest count fabric you have ever used?

I have a UFO that is 48-ct. silk gauze.  UFO, b/c it’s 48-ct!  It was a kit, I didn’t realize.  It’s a tiny project.  Small stitch count, that is.  I was thinking 40-ct. would be something I could handle.  I can’t handle the 48-ct.  Pity, really.  I like the design–it’s of some girls dancing in a circle.

The smallest count I’ve successfully stitched over one is 32-ct.

I don’t remember stitching anything higher than 14-ct.  I have some 10- and 11-ct. Aida, but I’ve never used it.  I gave some to my son for him to try cross stitching, but the design was too big for him, and he lost interest.
