                                         evenweave



            The thread strands on
            evenweave fabric are                                                                Fabric choice
                                                                                                Notice the difference in the
            woven singly rather than
                                                                                                weave between aida (left)
            in blocks like on aida.                                                             and evenweave (right)

            Working on evenweave is
                                                                                                                                    This blushing bride
            not difficult, just different.
                                                                                                                                is extremely pretty and
            Evenweave is worked over
                                                                                                                                would look good on
            two strands of the fabric                                                                                           the wall. It’s so vibrant
            instead of one block. This                                                                                          and full of colour.

            design is fractional-free                                                                                           It would be worth
                                                                                                                                stitching it just to see
            so if you do struggle with
                                                                                                                                the smile on this lady’s
            evenweave, you can stitch
                                                                                                                                face and to capture
            it on 14-count aida and                                                                                             the pure innocence

            the design will come out                                                                                            of the design.
            exactly the same size.
