Vickie's Vinyl Aida Tip

Vickie explains why she adores vinyl Aida. She writes, "I love working with Vinyl Aida. You won't need to use a hoop and you'll never have to iron the finished product. Your work will never lose it's shape! Once you have used it for a project you won't want to return to cloth.

You stitch on the vinyl as you would the cloth, every stitch is done exactly the same. The vinyl is sold in rolls, if you roll as you stitch it helps so you aren't reaching into the center of your stitching area. Make sure to pull all your stitches with the same tension.

The finished product is beautiful, it frames well or goes into acrylics well."
