I have an old ufo on black aida, and I haven't yet decided if I will attempt to finish it!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-49856420164534842022013-04-23T02:33:51.746-04:002013-04-23T02:33:51.746-04:00just caught up with your aida evenweave piece.

Like you I prefer evenweave but must admit I usually use the cotton not linen and these days finding 28 count a bit difficult and find I cannot work on the dark fabric at all.<br />Beautiful stitching of these ladies.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-43946513775397527002012-01-31T10:25:19.438-05:002012-01-31T10:25:19.438-05:00To me, if you are making a framed picture that wil...To me, if you are making a framed picture that will be hung on the wall behind glass, I don't think there is any aesthetic difference between aida and even weave. Sometimes aida is more appropriate - it supports heavy stitching better and is more opaque. But, if you're making something that will be handled, then I prefer the softer linen.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-777082361967445123.post-16853945166687653322012-01-30T20:29:36.930-05:002012-01-30T20:29:36.930-05:00Another thing that I like about even weave is that...Another thing that I like about even weave is that I find it just so much more beautiful than Aida, which looks industrial to me.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066177625064170284noreply@blogger.com
