Tip of the week - Selecting the Fabric - Aida vs. Evenweaves/Linen Counted cross stitch has few rules. The main one is to enjoy yourself. You may follow or ignore any of the tips listed in this FAQ and still be a "real" cross stitcher. Generally, people first learn to do counted cross stitch on Aida and learn to stitch on linen or other evenweaves as they become more experienced. Judging by comments in this newsgroup, most stitchers who know how to work on linen prefer it to Aida. As always though, this is a matter of personal choice. Some very experienced stitchers prefer Aida. An evenweave is any fabric which has the same number of threads per inch in both the vertical and horizontal directions. The individual threads might not all be the same thickness--you can see this in linen--but the number of threads is the same. First, the traditional rule--stitch on Aida using a hoop and stitch on linen "in the hand". In actual practice, people do whatever works best for them. See section "6. Hoop or Hand?" for a discussion of the "in-the-hand vs. in-a-hoop" debate. See section "30.2 Hoops, Scroll Bars and Such" for more information on the equipment itself. Most evenweaves aren't as stiff as most Aida. This can be a plus or minus, depending on your own preferences. The difference in stiffness isn't usually a factor if the fabric is worked in a hoop or in scroll bars. Read the rest of the tip in our Cross Stitch Tutorial by Kathleen M Dyer
