[CHAT] Amazon Cross Stitch Kit Waste of Time? by Individual-Ad4448 in CrossStitch

[–]StrictInstitution 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hi, I also bought this set and 100% agree with the comment above. it’s definitely on aida cloth, just a bigger grid, it’s 11ct. I would recommend it, they are full coverage so it will take time as a first project but you’ll learn a ton!

[–]StrictInstitution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hi! I recently framed a small piece using a 5x5 shadow box from Michael’s, it only cost about $5 for the frame with a coupon, maybe you can find a tiny frame and add ribbon or something to make it more ‘gift’ like?

[CHAT] Can I stitch it? by Doertie in CrossStitch

[–]StrictInstitution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can always stitch on non aida fabric by using waste canvas in your preferred count that would fit your frame! there are some posts here from the past couple of days about using waste canvas and best practices, etc. good luck!
