Thanks Date published: Make sure the edges of your interfacing are trimmed close to the design so as not to be caught during the washing process and pulled off. M onks Cloth. Monks cloth is similar to a Herta or 6 to 8 count Aida.
It is softer and more pliable. That means 7 stitches per inch of fabric. First, you serge the edges of the fabric with a zig zag stitch on your sewing machine to keep the edges from fraying.
Then it must be washed in a gentle warm water cycle in you washing machine. Dry it in the dryer and it is ready to go. The fabric will shrink quite a bit in this process. Monks cloth is also preferred for Swedish Weaving. Monks Cloth 7ct Count Sample. What is an even weave? An even weave fabric has the same amount of warp and weft fabrics. In laymens terms, ten stitches vertically and ten stitches horizontally will be the same length, or essentially square.
It is quite uniform. Even the threads used to create an evenweave are all the same thickness, so they lend themselves well to an "even" set of stitches. There are many examples of evenweave fabrics out there, and we carry most of them, in stock. Linen fabrics are not even weave. Linen fabrics are made from natural linen fibers and they are not uniform, thus the uneven weave of the fabric.
This does not make them a lesser fabric. As a matter of fact, linen is a much more traditional fabric, and it is great to use on projects where you are looking for a more antique or traditional look. There are several linen fabrics and all different stitch counts.
Tips for choosing a vibrant fabric color. I love to experiment with color when I stitch a new design. Nine times out of ten, the picture of the design on the front of the pattern is not a good representation of the actual floss colors that you will be using on your project. I like to pull my floss for my project first to see what the actual colors are going to look like, and then choose a fabric color that will work well.
One of the questions I ask myself when choosing a cross stitch fabric color for my design is "what would the background look like behind the design if I were to see it in real life? It's as if the fire is playing on the wall behind her.
Beware of Dye Lots! Manufacturers of fabric tend to change dye lots over a period of time. Frequently, the dye lots are so close in color that you cannot tell the difference. However, there are times when the dye lot changes drastically. Always keep this in mind when choose a fabric for a project. If your cross stitch project requires more than one piece of fabric, and you wish them to match exactly, the dye lot will be very important to you. I suggest buying all the fabric you will need for a long term project all at one time if you want the fabrics to match exactly.
