FAQs
Is this fabric suitable for cross-stitch?
Yes, it is excellent for cross-stitch, particularly for designs that require a larger stitch size due to the 3.5 pts/cm count.
Can I machine wash this fabric?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the shape and integrity of the grid, though it can be washed on a delicate cycle if absolutely necessary.
What does 3.5 pts/cm mean?
This refers to the weave density; there are 3.5 stitches or squares per centimeter, which determines the scale of your embroidery.
Does the fabric come pre-primed?
No, it is a standard 100% cotton fabric without any pre-applied stabilizers.
Can I use this for punch needle embroidery?
Absolutely, the cotton weave is specifically noted as being suitable for punch needle activity.
Troubleshooting
Fabric fraying at the edges during work.
Apply a thin layer of fabric glue or use masking tape along the raw edges to prevent threads from unraveling while you stitch.
Stitches appear loose or uneven.
Ensure your embroidery hoop is tightened sufficiently and that you are using the correct needle size for the 3.5 pts/cm fabric count.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your Aida fabric, it is recommended to iron the cloth on a low heat setting to remove any creases from packaging before placing it in your embroidery frame. When working with this fabric, ensure your needle size is appropriate for the 3.5 pts/cm weave to prevent damage to the cotton fibers. To clean your finished project, hand wash the fabric gently in lukewarm water with mild detergent and lay it flat to dry; avoid wringing the fabric, as this may distort the grid squares. Always store your fabric in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing over time.
