how long would it really take to discolor (or whatever) my linen?

As much time as we spend making a piece, I think it's worth the effort for acid-free. It's become quite popular and shouldn't be too difficult to find for a decent price.

It depends on a lot of factors.  Temperature and temperature changes, exposure to sunlight, humidity and just about anything in the air that come in contact with the piece.

The color changes can happen in as little as a year. I stitched some designs for mt nieces when they were very small and when we changed them out just two years later the fbric was yellowed beyond cleaning.

For some pieces I don't think it matters. Characters for kids or items you think might be out of style in a year or two.  The acid free mounts are inexpensive enough that if you think it might be something you want to keep it's worth the cost.

También es importante lavarlo para limpiar el apresto o almidón que les ponen a las telas, y luego plancharlo sin añadir ningun producto al planchado. El almidón o apresto hace que el bordado se vuelva amarillo

It depends on your climate.  But why chance it, use acid free and your hard work will be enjoyed for years

If it is a small piece, I would not worry, but a large heirloom piece with many hours stitching I would use acid free.

I try to use acid free on all my large framed pieces... I'm not so fussy with smaller works...

I've never bothered with acid free and I've never had a piece yellow.
