Thank you for this video. Very helpful. After 30 years of not cross stitching (more of a quilter), I didn’t realize how many different types of fabrics there are now. Can’t get use to the linen/even weave. I will just stick to Aida 16 and 18 ct for now. Linen has too many threads for these old eyes. I look forward to more of your very helpful and informative videos.

Great video! A couple of points. Hardanger is not only done on 22 count but on other counts as well (not on Aida). Most Hardanger I have done is on 28 count. The weave on WDW fabric is looser and makes it very difficult to work with. That is probably why you don't like it (I don't either). The problem with using two strands on 36 Ct is when the piece is completed, it is going to look very heavy. However, everyone should stitch what makes their heart happy.

First of all, what the hell is with the mine ant in the middle of winter!? Second I love the look of laguna but my eyes aren't great. I assumed the snobby stitchers always trended to making the tiniest stitches possible. I'm not a fan of 14 count Aida because it seems so "big". When I do I usually use 3 strands. Right now I'm working on a 16 count and stitches are noticeably smaller. You gave me the permission to do 2 over 2 on Lugana because it made sense! The stitches are bigger but the fabric is still so smooth and tight.

I don't know if you can help me but I just ruined my 14ct Aida with magic marker I thought I had the cover on good but in this case I didn't it bleed thru the whole fabric what can I do to save it or should I start over? Thank you for your help.
@Stitcherista5 жыл бұрын
You could try to spray that area with hairspray and then try to gently rub the magic marker away. I got a pen mark out of a piece of fabric this way before. And then I washed the fabric to get the hairspray out. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to start over.

@Stitcherista4 жыл бұрын
The holes on evenweave and linen are smaller so some people like that look more. Plus if you have fractional stitches to do in a pattern, like three-quarter stitches or a quarter stitch, it is easier to do on evenweave than aida, as there are more holes in evenweave.

Thank you so much for replying and given me such a great explanation. If I may bother you again, how does one know which fabric count to use? I am about to start a Van Gogh pattern, which calls for 14 count Aida, so should I stick to that or consider evenweave in smaller count, like 20 or smaller (although terrible for my eyes)? Thanks so much.
