🖤 DMC GD1436-0853 Classic Reserve Gold Label Aida Fabric Box, Black, 14 Count: Premium Quality Cross-Stitch Fabric for Elegant Designs Review

Although I found the price of this pink Aida napkin high, I am happy with the result. I created a custom counted cross stitch design for a friend's newborn daughter using different shades of burgundy and pink floss. Contrasting colors look amazing on the pink Aida fabric. The fabric took a little longer, but it was worth the wait.

It is difficult for a cross stitcher to smooth out the wrinkles in the fabric. Sometimes ironing weakens the fabric (suggests some kind of coating). This does not happen with this material as it is heavier and WILL NOT crease. The quality is amazing and the color is a soft green that is great for many projects. Once you choose DMC Classic Reserve Gold or Charles Croft you will never go back, superb product.

This was perfect for my project. Although it's not black black. Would I consider it to be more of a cream color? I ended up changing the way I finished my project as the black in my frame was black black. I bought this to avoid creating a black thread in my project. FYI, the black DMC thread is darker than this Aida when I compared them. Still, I don't regret my purchase and would buy it again.

I used this to make a fun sampler and it worked great! It was stiff enough that I didn't need a tire, and I was able to complete my sampler in a matter of days because I could just take my stuff in my purse on the bus and work with it as I drove! It's really nice to be able to fold up my work and take it with me, and it's been a great conversation starter with those around me. In fact, it's stiff enough to embroider neatly without a hoop. I highly recommend.
