Aida fabric is certainly the single most popular cross stitch fabric. Aida refers to a particular weave of the fabric that was invented by Zweigart in 1908.
Aida fabric has easy to easy to see holes and the interlocking nature of the fabric keeps the threads from pulling out of place. These features make aida the most popular cross stitch fabric.
Beginner suggestions: Although other fabrics are not difficult to stitch on, aida is the best choice for a first project. Aida 14 (14 stitches per inch) is the most commonly used aida. Aida 8 or 11 would be a good choice for teaching children. Our Yarn Tree main page has Learn To Cross Stitch In 5 Minutes instructions. There is also a video.
