Question
Angela
I want to stitch some breadcloths for our church sale in December. I think if I
could cut the aida cloth to the dimensions of a breadcloth if would be
cheaper than buying pre-made breadcloths. Would you agree and what
would the dimensions be and instructions for making them?
Pat
Hello, Patricia :)
The standard breadcloth itself is 18"x18" square. To make the fringe, I think you'll need to cut the fabric 19"x19". Then, you'll need to either machine or hand sew the edges so that the fabric doesn't fray as you're stitching your designs.
I hope that helps. :) Good luck, and happy stitching!
Sincerely,
Angela :)

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. :)
