The Aida cloth only differs in size and colors. The texture and the weave are the same for most Aida fabrics. Although there are other types, the typical Aida cloth features the same characteristics. Let’s take the 14-count Aida. This fabric count 14 indicates that there are 14 stitches per linear inch. This means that in every inch of the fabric, you can make 14 “X” stitches. For the 16-count Aida. In this fabric count, there are 16 stitches in every inch of the fabric. These two sizes tell you that the higher the number, the more “X” stitches it has per inch. The more stitches you put in 1 inch the smaller or thinner they get. This translates to narrowing or reducing the size of your pattern or design.
