    ABOUT ME:
    Thanks for visiting my channel, I hope you enjoyed the video! I founded Caterpillar Cross Stitch in 2015 when I tried desperately for months to find a modern baby sampler my mum could stitch for new baby Felicity that would fit in with her simple, contemporary nursery. I love cross stitch, running, baking fruit cakes, drinking gin, eating salted caramel ice cream and most crafts!
    See you soon and happy stitching! Sally x

    I would have to use a magnifying glass for more than 14 Aida 😆 though I have learned embroidery in the past years so I am familiar with linen and cotton backing fabrics. I would hope some day to combine both kinds of stitches 😊🙏🏽🙋🏻‍♀️👍🏽Mia

    This was such an interesting video. I have been cross stitching for 40+ years and have always used Aida cloth. I hate making mistakes so linen never really appealed to me. I am curious about the Evenweave fabric but wonder if I could adapt to the over 2 technique after years of just using over 1 stitching. Really appreciated your list of pros and cons for each of the fabric types.

      Thank you so much Susan, I am so happy you found the video useful especially as such an experienced stitcher! I sometimes use my needle and pierce the holes while counting one-two in my head when I get a bit confused about the over 2 stitching 😊 I hope you enjoy stitching on evenweave 🌸

    Hi Marie! This was such a helpful video. I’ve been cross stitching for around a year but only ever used aida. Might try something else now!

    Thank you for your videos! Very helpful. I'm brand new to cross stitch but I'm loving it! I have a question. I bought a graph that the sample was stitched on 28 count evenweave. 2 strands over 2 threads. If I use 14 count Aida will it be the same size if I i stitch two threads over 1? That part confuses me so I wanted to make sure.

      Hi Steffanie, thanks so much for watching and welcome to the most amazing craft in the world ☺️ You are absolutely correct, 14ct Aida stitched with 2 strands of floss is exactly the same as 28ct 2 over 2 😊
      Happy stitching 🌸
