Charles Craft Aida?

[Flying_V_Goddess]

I found enough Aida for my Zelda project that won't cost me an arm and a leg. Its from Charles Craft. Haven't heard anything about their aida. Has anyone bought aida from them and would you reccomend using it?

I have used it for years and years and have always found it a wonderful product.

i too have used it and have alot in my stash and love the quality! I would not hesitate.

I used it for a Koi Carp project I did ages ago and thought it was great quality. I don't often use Aida now but I'd certainly recommend it.

That is the brand I always use. I've tried the other brands, but like the quality of Charles Craft better. It's stiffer which I care for, but it does get softer as you stitch on it.

Love it! That's what I get when I purchase fabric from the local craft store...

I've used Chaarled Craft Aida, and I think its a wonderful fabric!

I'm really happy with the response! The other site I found was selling Aida for $10.99 per foot (43"x12"). When I figured it out, I found I could only get five out of the six pieces I needed from one yard of Aida and would of had to buy another yard just to get that last piece so a lot of that extra yard would have been waste fabric. So when I first found Charles Craft and realized I could fit all my pieces on one piece of Aida (hardly any waste fabric) I was like "$26.50 for 30"x2 yards! Great!". But then thought back to the post on my Zelda thread and how some people were telling me $10 a foot was pretty typical and thought maybe I had found "craft fabric"...and by "craft" I mean "low quality". So I got iffy on it. Now I'm not iffy and am totally stoked that I don't have to pay $50-$60 for good fabric!

I hope you like the fabric as well as I do! That is quite a savings, too!

Charles Craft is a good quality brand, so no fears there. I usually by Zweigart, but then I'm in Europe where it's available at a reasonable price. Here, Charles Craft tends to come precut and prepackaged.
