Also, what size needles should I work with? I usually cross stitch on a 22 count cloth with 2 strands of floss, but I am wondering if 2 will be too much on the 28. Also, I need a needle suggestion so I don't stretch out the cloth-thanks!

if you're stitching over two threads, use two strands of floss. If you're stitching over one thread, just use one strand of floss. Usually the chart will recommend how many strands of floss to use. As far as needle size, I usually use a 22 needle.

I would use one strand of floss and a size 28 tapestry needle for stitching over one on 28 count fabric. Find out more about cross stitch at the link below

If you're going over two threads, which you normally do on that size cloth, then use two and it will be fine. It will end up looking like you've used 14 count, only with a slightly different finished look to it.
28 count is my favorite. I hate to admit this, but I don't really pay much attention to needle size. Can't help you there.
