READER PANEL

This blushing bride

is extremely pretty and

would look good on

the wall. It’s so vibrant

and full of colour.

It would be worth

stitching it just to see

the smile on this lady’s

face and to capture

the pure innocence

of the design.

stitch on

evenweave

How to...

The thread strands on

evenweave fabric are

woven singly rather than

in blocks like on aida.

Working on evenweave is

not difficult, just different.

Evenweave is worked over

two strands of the fabric

instead of one block. This

design is fractional-free

so if you do struggle with

evenweave, you can stitch

it on 14-count aida and

the design will come out

exactly the same size.
