Aida band to embroider or to use for crafts and home decorating! 100 mm width, 54 stitches. Made in 100% cotton, color nr. 151.
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

Zweigart's Aida band is a narrow strip of Aida with woven, finished edges: it does not fray and needs no hemming, so it can be stitched and used as it is. The clearly formed blocks make counting straightforward, including for beginners, and the long, narrow shape suits repeating motifs – borders for towels, curtains and pillowcases, bookmarks, wraps for jars and flowerpots, ribbons and gift tags.

Two strands of stranded cotton are enough for the cross stitches and one for backstitch, worked with a size 24 tapestry needle. Mark the lengthwise centre with a line of tacking and start from the middle of the design; the band can then be slipstitched or machine-stitched in place.
