AIDA 4.4PTS/CM-11CT-110CM*5M

To get started in cross stitch or continue a work already well advanced, this white DMC Aïda canvas in 11 ct (4.4 pts/cm) offers a clean, regular and easy to count support. Its clearly visible weft allows you to effortlessly follow any embroidery chart, whether it is an alphabet book, a decorative pattern or a painting to frame. An essential for any creative haberdashery that wishes to offer reliable support, equally appreciated by beginners and seasoned embroiderers.

This Aida canvas is woven from 100% cotton , a natural material which guarantees hold, needle resistance and embroidery comfort over time. Its 11 ct (4.4 points per centimeter) weft offers a good compromise between fineness of rendering and speed of execution, ideal for medium-sized patterns. Sold in a section 110 cm wide by 5 m long , it allows you to carry out several successive projects or a large project without sewing. Its white color makes it a neutral and bright base which highlights all the colors of mouliné threads, without ever distorting their nuances.

• Lightly iron the canvas before starting to find a very flat weave and make it easier to count the points.
• Use a drum or an embroidery hoop to keep the canvas taut and obtain regular stitches.
• Overcast or zigzag the edges before embroidering to prevent the canvas from fraying during work.
• Cut up scraps for small projects (bookmarks, embroidered cards, badges) and don't waste any of your coupon.
• Mark the center of the canvas with a colored basting thread before starting a centered grid, for a well-balanced result.

To complete this Aida canvas, consider DMC mouliné threads in the shade of your choice, a blunt-tipped embroidery needle suitable for weaving, as well as an embroidery hoop for optimal working comfort. A pair of fine embroidery scissors and a thread guide will complete your kit and facilitate each step of your cross-stitch creation.
