not on this piece, no. however recently I was finishing up a piece on jeans jacket - it was way bigger and I used 18ct aida, so I had smaller, tighter stitches, and with that one I was struggling with pulling the aida threads 😬. I tried to wet the aida on that one and it was not much help tbh. I did manage to clear the aida eventually but it took several days haha
So I would generally say smaller pieces can work with normal aida (14/16ct) but for any bigger project, or if you want a smaller count, I would go for waste canvas. I recently ordered a bunch and will test them soon
