Easy Count Guidelinea Cross Stitch Item by R & S Designs, Inc.

It is a pain to place, but super helpful once it is. I would like to have a second color to use for the center axis. Also thinner cordage for higher count Aida.

This product is a must if you wish to have accurately-placed stitches. Yes, it's a pain to place the guidelines on the canvas, but it's worth the pain. Less pain for Aida, a bit more for linen. With the guidelines in place, your chance of placing a stitch in the wrong part of the pattern is severely reduced, if not completely eliminated. Your stitching enjoyment is greatly increased. Because this product is impermeable, a needle cannot pierce it, and thread cannot go through it. And when you finish stitching, it is the work of 2 seconds to remove the guidelines from the canvas. My only wish is to have thinner-diameter guidelines available for higher-count canvases (hint, hint).
