Troubleshooting

Difficulty seeing the grid on the aida fabric

Use a daylight lamp or work under bright natural lighting to highlight the small holes in the aida.

Stitches look uneven or messy

Ensure that all your stitches cross in the same direction—for example, always bring the needle up at the bottom left and down at the top right for the first half of the cross.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Start by washing your hands to prevent oils from staining the white aida. You may wish to tape the edges of the fabric with masking tape to prevent fraying while you work.
  2. Setup: Identify the center of your fabric by folding it in half twice and finding the middle point. Start stitching from the center to ensure your design remains perfectly aligned within the fabric borders.
  3. Care Instructions: Once finished, hand wash the piece in lukewarm water with a very mild detergent to remove any finger oils. Lay it flat on a clean towel to dry. Do not wring the fabric. Iron on the reverse side while slightly damp to avoid flattening the raised stitches.
