About 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. :)

Cross Stitch - 8 count aida cloth


Expert: Angela - 6/28/2009

Question
I only have one good eye and am in need of 8 count aida cloth and I can't even find it online. Can you help??

Answer
Hello, Edwina

As far as I know, there is no such thing as 8 count Aida.  I've heard, and seen, 11 count Aida, and it can be found on this reliable website:

http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/fabric/aida_fabric.pl

It comes in all colors, as well as different counts.  You can try stitching your design over 2 fabric threads on 16 count Aida to make it 8 count.  Experiment with 2 and 3 strands of floss for the most coverage.  I hope this helps you.

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)
