The same gothic as Older 32, a quarter taller and a third wider: the capital goes from 29 to 36 stitches, about two and a half inches on 14-count. What you gain is not only size but detail — at 36 rows the fine strokes inside the capitals separate and read; at 29 they sit much tighter. Mind the band before you frame it: an ordinary name takes 36 rows, and an accented capital lifts that to 43. "Merry Christmas" comes to 220 x 36 stitches against 167 x 29 in the 32. One thread and nothing else, black DMC 310, all whole crosses. All hundred characters of the family, accents, ñ and the Spanish opening marks included. If you are torn between the two, type the name you mean to stitch below and look at it in both before you decide.
