I bought some evenweave a few months ago and finally decided to try it. I know you’re supposed to “stitch over 2” with this stuff but that seemed like it would still end up just looking like 14 ct aida so I decided to try this instead lol

Does anyone have any tips or techniques for this type of stitching, or do you just use it the same as you would any other aida cloth?

    I’ve done both. I prefer even weave to aida, and I like stitching over 2. I don’t think it looks like aida at the end. IMO it looks like tapestry. If you stitch over 1, it’ll be very hard to do half stitches (if there are any in your pattern). Over 1 looks like petit point to me, so I guess each has their place depending on what you’re going for.

      I’m enjoying it so far! I stuck to something pretty simple since this is my first time using evenweave, so no half stitches here lol! I do have some patterns that involve a lot of half stitches that I kind of gave up on when using aida so I may try those again with evenweave and stitch over 2 on that one
