Zweigart 16ct Aida Easy Count Grid Fabric White (1219) - By the Meter

Forget about counting stitches over and over again with Zweigart 16ct Easy Count Grid Aida fabric (1219). This fabric features a gray grid that marks every 10 stitches in both directions, exactly mirroring the layout of cross-stitch patterns. As a result, you can see at a glance which square of the design you are working on, without having to recount from the edge every time you pick up your work. It drastically reduces counting errors, saves a lot of time, and avoids the frustration of discovering halfway through your embroidery that everything is shifted by one stitch.

It is especially useful for large, full-coverage designs, complex patterns with many color changes, and for those who embroider in short intervals and need to reorient themselves quickly when returning to their work. It is also a great ally for beginners, as it removes the most frustrating part of counted cross-stitch and allows you to focus on the stitching itself. The white background maintains all the versatility of classic Aida and works with any thread palette.

Important: the grid disappears upon washing. Once the embroidery is finished, the fabric should be machine washed at 40°C for about 40 minutes with a detergent for delicate garments, and the gray lines will disappear completely, leaving a clean white background. If any trace remains visible, simply repeat the wash. The manufacturer recommends machine washing over hand washing for complete removal. As with any fabric, it is advisable to perform a preliminary test on a scrap piece if the design uses highly saturated thread colors.

With 16 count (6.4 stitches/cm) and manufactured from cotton by Zweigart, it offers the quality, durability, and uniform finish characteristic of the brand, with a regular structure that maintains tension without deforming.
