I haven't had any problems with the Aida, the only stitch I really had problems with was the Queen stitch, but I have since mastered it. I don't mind the questions at all, very happy to help!

I bought 28 count fabric planning to stitch over 2. Since you are doing the specialty stitches on aida, do you have any problems? I was thinking I could stitch over 1 on the 28 ct but was concerned how that would effect the specialty stitches. I hope you don't mind my questions. This is such a beautiful pattern and I really want to stitch it.

I used 14 count natural Aida, as it was more cost effective for me. I would have used a roller frame, but didn't have one large enough. I hope this helps!stitchesnscrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10838777062376500044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092624727336049968.post-91717699062382969822010-11-30T06:18:43.982-08:002010-11-30T06:18:43.982-08:00You're welcome Melissa :) How big is your fab...You're welcome Melissa :) How big is your fabric for CITA? and how do you handle all the excess fabric that isn't in the q-snap?
