How to best stitch on normal fabric (feddit.org)

I have a normal white skirt and would like to stitch some patterns from a cross stitch book on it. It's made up of normal fabric, not cross stitch cloth. Are there any tips and tricks on how to cross stitch on clothes?

For what it's worth, the waste canvas is available in other than 14-count (one of my usual suppliers has 11, 14, 15, 18) if that's a concern for you. The soluble canvas seems to be very difficult to find in other than 14-count. (I have no personal experience with either.)
