Canvas for cross stitch, Aida for cross stitch or fabric for cross stitch, is a great solution for people who make a lot of cross stitch and flat embroidery. Fabrics for embroiderey sold per metre come in many colours and densities.
Cross stitch is an embroidery technique that uses symmetrical diagonal stitches to form crosses on the fabric. This is a popular way to create patterns, images and decorations.
For cross stitch, you need a canvas for cross stitch called Aida, thread (e.g. floss thread), a needle of the right thickness and the pattern you want to embroider.
Choose a canvas with the right weave density and color. Canvas with more meshes per inch/10 cm is more densely woven. Popular fabrics include canvas, Aida, Lugana and Panama.
The choice of needle and mouline depends on the type of fabric used. Choose a needle with the right thickness so as not to damage the canvas. The floss should be of good quality and of the right thickness.
First, prepare the fabric by stretching it over a hoop or frame. Then select a pattern and mark the center of the fabric. Start embroidering from the center by stitching according to the pattern.
Cross stitch is not difficult, but it requires patience and precision. For beginners, it's a good idea to start with simple patterns and progress to more complex ones over time.
