I always get DMC for everything I've never tried Zweitgart! I'll have to try it! I'll probably have to order it online lol
The first ever DMC Aida I got, the squares were taller than they were wide. So I have sworn to zweigart since. But if that haven't happened to you, then that's great, but trying new things is also kinda exciting!
The first aida I ever got was Loops and Threads from Michael's and the fabric was so weak and thin that when I would secure a stitch it would go right through into the next square... Their floss was almost unusable too lol it's been DMC for everything since then!
I'm amazed you keept up with the hobby after that! I would probably have given up, if that was my first experience
But I also love DMC floss!
