Review on DMC GD1436-5225 Classic Reserve Gold πŸŽ—οΈ Label Navy Aida Fabric Box, 14 Count by Amanda Castillo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm surprised at my toughness!

Before ordering I was afraid to use dark Aida again as my experience with black Aida was not comfortable (the project went great but I couldn't get the fabric to feel its stiffness afterwards to lose multiple washes and washes). it was so hard to find the holes). I washed the navy blue fabric and was going to wash/dry it a few times and try fabric softener but didn't need it! The fabric is as soft as plain white and doesn't cling to the thread color like black sometimes did. It's still hard to see when the needle will come forward again, but since I'm coming from a counted pattern on my laptop, I use it as a lap lightbox of sorts and everything runs smoothly. (FYI, I probably have 10+ hours on this project.) This is an amazingly wonderful piece and I can't wait to turn it into a pillow.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
