Is stitching on an evenweave fabric different from stitching on Aida?
When stitching on an evenweave fabric, you should always bring your needle up from the backside of the fabric and to the left of a vertical thread. Otherwise, your stitches will have a tendency to drop out as they will have nothing to support them. This is particularly important on linen as the threads in the fabric may vary from thick to thin. Sometimes the slubs can hide a thin thread and cause your count to be off. As you go along, look for the little ‘support posts’ and you will know your stitching is on track.
