I’m looking forward to next month on evenweave and linen. Thanks for all you do for the cross stitch community! Your best advice ever is to do what you like, fabric choice, color, etc. Though, I do always like to hear your opinion!

    Thank you, Kimberly, you did a great job explaining all about Aida and the different types, whether it be hand-dyed or printed or brands. I do enjoy stitching on 14 count Aida but some pieces such as samplers, which I really love, etc. become so large in size that I had to learn to stitch on different counts so they would be manageable for framing regarding size. Thanks again!!

    I have always used 14 count Aida like you. Thank you for all the information today. I started criss stitching in the 80's and yes Aida has come a long way. I have a few colors that I like to use but since I have started watching different Flosstubes I am starting to use more color. Have a great day.
