Classic fabric for cross stitch embroideries.

Cut of 50 × 75 cm; multiples of the basic cut can be chosen from the drop-down menu below the price.
Easy Count is a counting help which is incorporated in the fabric and which disappears after washing.
100% cotton
Please note: natural fabrics such as linen and cotton are dyed in batches and come in different counts (with more or fewer threads per 1 cm in the case of linen and evenweaves, and more or fewer squares per 10 cm in the case of Aida). Different production batches and different counts may show color variations, even when the fabric is under the same color name. In the textile industry, this is considered completely normal, especially for so-called “vintage” or antiqued fabrics. Therefore, if your project requires a specific shade, we invite you to contact us before placing your order, also because the online image is purely indicative and may appear very different from reality, depending on the display which it is viewed on.

Description

Aida is a cotton fabric woven in clearly defined blocks, with one cross stitch worked over each block: the weave is easy to count and the stitches stay even over a long piece of work. This medium count suits framed pictures, bookmarks, favour bags, pouches, notebook covers, kitchen linen and small gifts, giving close coverage that is still comfortable to follow.

Cross stitch is usually worked with two strands of stranded cotton, one strand for a lighter effect, and one strand for backstitch outlines; a size 24 or 26 tapestry needle slips through the holes without forcing them. Overcast or tape the edges before starting and allow at least 5 cm of spare fabric all round for hoop and framing.

The first order I made for this fabric, the stripes were very noticeable. In this last order nothing is distinguished. I have been very disappointed...

Dear, unfortunately the printing of the stripes is not up to us and is not always identical from one production batch to another, unfortunately :-( However, if you are not satisfied with the canvas, you can always return it and we will refund the cost with a voucher. If you prefer to return it, send an email to [email protected] and we will provide you with all the instructions to do so. Thank you and best regards.

I have bought this product and I am very disappointed, since the yellow lines are not distinguished and it is as if they were not there.

We are sorry to hear about your review. You say we haven't responded to your email; but we have replied the first email within 3 hours, the second within 6 hours. If you have not received these emails, please check your spam. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that emails go there... We have explained the utility of Easy Count; that is, there must be 10 squares between one row and another. And frankly, from the photo sent, it seemed that way. You accused us of pretending we didn't know what we were talking about. But we have explained the product to you and we have asked you if it fulfilled its \"usefulness\" (without obtaining an answer from you). However, as we spoke, we certainly weren't expecting a \"rip off\" review on an item we've never had any complaints about. If you have any other questions or comments, we are very willing to discuss with each other.

I spent months looking for 16 count ecru easy count in the UK for my next project as it was brilliant to use on white aida. On receipt I'm very disappointed as I can hardly see the easy count lines as they're very pale brown so I'll have to sew over them in my gridding thread, which was the reason for buying pregridded aida so I didn't have to sew it! I've not used it & I would've returned it but I cannot afford €12.97 return fee. A big rip off - don't buy if you think it'll look like the photo.
