What bead size to use for 14ct Aida?

Hi all! Got an urgent question to ask :)
Is 11/0 better to use than 10/0?

I tried with 10/0 and it eats into the surrounding stitches.

Please help! Thanks :)

Size 11 is normally recommended when stitching on 14 ct aida (and 28 count even weave)

Oh, beads on 14-count Aida? That’s a fun way to jazz up your project without going overboard! For 14-count, I usually reach for size 11/0 seed beads—they’re just the right little sparkle without being so big that they overpower your stitches or make your fabric pucker. They fit nicely over one square, adding a subtle shine and texture without stealing the show. If you want a bit more sparkle but still keep things balanced, you could try size 8/0 beads, but just be mindful they might make your fabric a bit stiffer. Basically, keep it small and sweet—like a tiny accessory that completes your outfit without making you feel like you’re wearing a disco ball!
