FlossTube Tutorial: Softening Aida For Cross Stitch

Aida cloth is some of the stiffest and hardest fabrics for cross stitchers to work with initially. While you can still cross stitch or do any other craft with it despite the stiffness, it feels so much better to your hands once it softens. It's also easier to get inside of hoops or other frames.

What is the easy way to soften Aida fabric? Simply soak it in water.
Add dish washing soap if you like - be sure to rinse well! Then let it dry and off you go! Repeat for extra level of softness.
