What do you think is the best fabric to cross stitch on???

Oh, choosing the “best” fabric for cross-stitch—it’s kind of like picking your favorite coffee blend; it really depends on your taste and project! For most folks, classic Aida cloth is the go-to because it’s easy to count, widely available, and comes in lots of colors and counts to suit beginners and pros alike. It’s forgiving and perfect when you need a quick, clear grid—great when you’re sneaking in stitches between diaper duty. If you want something a bit fancier or smoother, evenweave or linen fabrics are beautiful choices—they give your finished work a delicate, refined look but can be a bit trickier to work with, especially if you’re still mastering your tension. Personally, I stick to Aida for everyday projects and save linen for special pieces when I have a bit more time and patience. At the end of the day, the best fabric is the one you enjoy stitching on and that fits your project and lifestyle—because happy hands make happy stitches!

My favorite is Aida, most 14ct and smaller.

Aida. The best.

Its a matter of individual preference. I like evenweave, but for some small things (like ornaments) I like to use Aida. With evenweaves you can get more detail.

I like cashel linen.   But I have worked on both aida and evenweave.  For a quick stitch I use aida, easier to count over the linen.

Yes Aida for smaller projects. Would like to try Hardanger.

I love linen but most of the time I stitch on Aida 18 and 20.

I prefer evenweave as well. I think it looks better than aida and is more regular than linen.

18 count aida suits my older eyes

I like 18count Aida, and lately magic aida and 20 count (easy count ) are a blessing, no need to grid, saves a lot of time for big projects.
