DMC DC90 Water Soluble Cross Stitch Canvas, 8 by 8-1/2-Inch, White, 14 Count

Where was this 40 years ago! Wonderful idea. This product dissolves quickly. A little difficult in the beginning but once you work with it you get the hang of it. You do need good lighting. Would be great if other grid counts were available. Much easier than pulling threads with a larger pattern.

I used this to embroider 2 pair of 1700s ladies pockets. I was able to trace the design onto the material and then use that to embroider my pockets!! And after that instead of having to pull all the threads like with waste canvas, I washed the pockets and the material did disappear!

I needed a way to cross stitch on normal fabric and I didn't want to use waste cloth as the fabric I was using had some stretch to it and I was scared of it warping. This worked great and my project (a stardew chicken on a beanie) turned out perfect

I used this product for cross stitching onto a T-shirt. It worked really well and I had no problems with dissolving it once I was finished. It was pretty hard to get into an embroidery hoop, but I was eventually able to manage it and didn’t have any problems after that.

This stuff is absolutely AMAZING! If I could give it six stars, I would. For some years, I have searched for a counted cross stitch grid material that could be used on delicate knit fabrics; waste fabric, by its very nature, must be removed by pulling threads out of the grid pattern. Grids or material attached to the BACK side of a project, were truly inconvenient, as that requires constant flipping back and forth for every single stitch in a project, which gets truly tiresome very rapidly. I used this stuff for two separate projects, adding designs to collars, shirt sleeves, and the chest area of some featherweight technical knit fabric sport shirts. It basted in place without shape deformation, held the fabric in the proper shape when placed inside embroidery hoops, did not rip when I had to move the hoop across different parts of the design, and when I finished the stitching and followed the directions how to remove the excess material with warm water and a little dish soap, the material dissolved in less than 30 seconds! Amazingly, while I was stitching the projects during a hot, sweaty, sticky Georgia summer, not once did the grid material soften, stretch, or start to dissolve....which has happened to me with other kinds of poly vinyl alcohol dissolvable materials. I purchased a few extra packets , to keep on hand for future projects, and am storing them in a Ziplock bag, just in case.

This product does exactly what it is intended to do. It is clear, so it is definitely hard to see what you are doing. Make sure you have good lighting. Washes away easily. I cut away excess, and washed gently by hand with warm water to get the process started. Then I tossed it in the washing machine on cool and it took care of the rest!

4 stars because waste canvas is always a bit of a challenge to use. One note - at first glance it looks like there are no English=h instructions because there is no USA flag among the 15 or so flags indicating other language instructions. However, English is there under the Union Jack flag.
