This DMC Aida Cross Stitch Fabric is designed for cross-stitch enthusiasts, particularly beginners, offering a perfectly square weave for neat stitches and coming pre-cut and rolled to prevent creasing. While ideal for cross-stitch and punch needle projects due to its 6-count weave, users should be aware that the pre-cut size may require framing or mounting for certain projects.

A '6 count' means there are 6 holes or squares per inch of fabric. This results in larger holes, making it easier to see and work with, ideal for punch needle and bold cross-stitch designs.
Yes, the 6-count Aida is excellent for beginners due to its clear, square weave which makes it easy to count stitches accurately.
The fabric is stored rolled in tubes by the manufacturer to minimize creasing. When not in use, store your projects or unused fabric rolled rather than folded.
It's best to spot clean gently with a damp cloth. Extensive washing is not recommended as it can alter the fabric's texture and the integrity of your stitches.
Higher count Aida (e.g., 14-count or 18-count) has more holes per inch, resulting in a finer weave suitable for detailed designs. 6-count Aida has larger holes, making it better for bolder stitches and punch needle.
A tapestry needle with a blunt tip and a large eye is recommended. The size of the needle should be appropriate for the thread or yarn you are using to pass through the 6-count holes easily.
Gently unroll the fabric and lay it flat. If needed, use a warm iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth over the fabric to remove stubborn creases.
Ensure you are consistently using one hole per stitch. Check that your needle and thread/yarn are appropriate for the 6-count Aida; thicker threads can fill the squares more easily for a cleaner look.
You can use pinking shears to cut the edges, or apply a fabric sealant/fray check product to the raw edges before starting your project.
Setup:
This fabric comes ready to use. Simply unroll it from its protective tube. You may wish to lightly iron it on a low setting if any minor creases persist, using a pressing cloth to protect the fibers.
