waste canvas
Easily cross stitch
onto clothing, household linens or any other fabric you like with our pre-cut
Waste Canvas. Specially designed for cross stitch, the waste canvas is
available with or without a built in 20x20 grid.
Our Waste Canvas
makes it easy to cross stitch on any type of fabric. Baste the waste canvas to
your chosen fabric, using large tacking stitches then use the clearly defined
squares to help you stitch neat, regular cross stitches.
Once your cross
stitch is complete, trim the waste canvas close to your finished design. Then
wet the canvas and use tweezers to gently pull each thread of the waste canvas
out from under your cross stitches. Our waste canvas can also be used for a
wide range of other counted embroidery techniques.
Available with or
without a built in 20x20 grid of blue threads to help you accurately count and
map out your design.
The count refers to
the number of stitches you can make in an inch. The metric equivalent is pts/cm
- stitches per centimetre. Therefore, the higher the count the smaller stitches
you will make resulting in a finer finish. It is common to ‘stitch over two’
meaning each stitch crosses over two warp and two weft threads of the waste
canvas.
