Cross Stitch Waste Canvas

Cross Stitch Waste Canvas Waste Canvas is used to stitch on fabrics that are not cross stitch friendly, such as clothing, table cloths and napkins. It makes it eash to count and position your design, and when you’re finished, you wet your waste canvas and gently pull it out from under your design so that all that is left is the design stitched on the fabric or garment. hello 2
