Charles Craft Aida (now owned and made by DMC) has been a product that I have used in my stitching for more years than I like to think of.  The first cross stitch project I ever did was on Charles Craft.  I still purchase this product whenever I need a good quality Aida in 14 count and in a fairly standard color.  I make sure to serge the edges (though back in the day I either used a zig zag stitch or even masking tape) to make sure that the fabric will not begin to fray as I work my project.
