AIDA 5.5PTS/CM-14CT-110CM*5M COULEURS

Want to try out a new cross-stitch embroidery with a soft, soothing touch of color? This DMC Aïda canvas in the Blue Water color provides a delicate and luminous base for all your works, whether it is a decorative painting, a bookmark or a piece to offer. Its regular weight and its well-defined weave make it a support of choice for seamstresses who want clean and harmonious stitches from the first stroke of the needle.

This canvas has a weave of 5.5 stitches per centimeter (14 ct) , the most popular count in the DMC range, particularly recommended for beginner embroiderers as well as for those who wish to progress on more detailed works. It is offered in a 110 cm wide by 5 m long coupon, which allows you to carry out several projects from a single piece or to provide ample margins for framing. The fabric is made of 100% cotton , guaranteeing good needle hold and a clean rendering of the crosses, essential for obtaining very regular crosses.

The color Eau bleutée (n°162) is distinguished by its soft pastel shade, between sky blue and off-white, which nicely highlights the colored threads without ever overwhelming them. It is an ideal choice for marine motifs, births, nature-inspired decors or simply to vary your usual canvas backgrounds.

• Use an embroidery hoop to keep the canvas taut and avoid deformation while working.
• Carefully count your stitches from the center of the canvas to perfectly balance your pattern.
• Combine this light Aida with stranded threads in contrasting tones for a striking visual effect.
• Remember to overcast or zigzag the edges of the coupon before starting, to avoid fraying during handling.
• For an impeccable framed finish, leave at least 5 cm of free margin around your embroidered design.

To complete your project, consider Mouliné Special DMC embroidery threads, fine embroidery needles and a drum or embroidery loom adapted to the size of your work. A thread grommet and small, sharp sewing scissors will also make each step of your creation easier.
