Brands of Aida that are SOFT

[karenstitches]

So, I've finally figured out--after 2.5 years of steady stitching--that my favorite fabric is 18-ct aida, but only if it's soft aida. Right now, for example, I'm working a project on 18-ct Fiddler's aida, which is just perfect. Can anyone recommend other brands of aida that are softish and where I could order them? I've looked for fiddler's aida online but found only the usual fat-quarter size, which I can buy in a store. I'd like to find some soft aida brands I can buy in larger cuts. Thanks.

I do not know where you are in the world But you can buy a full yard http://store.stoneycreek.com/fiddlers-c ... p7881.aspx

and if you ordered 2 yards it would hopefully come as one piece

You can also get 18 ct Fiddler's Lite by the yard here:

Fiddler's cloth is a type of fabric, not the necessarily the 'brand.' The brand sold at Ye Olde Cross Stitchery is Charles Craft.

I have never been able to find larger pieces.

I find that washing and ironing the cloth first softens it up

I rarely work with Aida because it is so stiff. I'm going to have to check out this fiddler's cloth.
