AboutAngela Expertise I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt.
I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric,
preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida
cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other
questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer
within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
Question I would like to know how to transfer a pattern size 10x17 to 18 count aida fabric;
Answer Hello, B
If you're referring to making the pattern a stamped cross stitch onto the fabric, I don't know how to do that.
If you're referring to actually stitching the pattern onto the fabric, simply fold the fabric in 1/2 lengthwise, and then again widthwise to find your center. Pinch your center, and then insert a needle (or a pin) into the corner of the fabric. When you open your fabric up, you'll find the center of your fabric. Next, to find the center of your pattern, simply follow the arrows on the pattern to the center of the pattern itself. Find the coordinating symbol to the floss color, and thread your needle. Don't remove the needle (or pin) in the fabric until you've started stitching, otherwise you'll lose your center.
Once you've secured a few stitches, remove the needle (or pin), and continue on.
I hope this helps. Good luck, and happy stitching! :)
