  • You can buy something called water soluble canvas, which has the cross stitch grid. In my country I have only found 14 count.

    I recommend basting it on, and then starting in the middel so it don’t shift while you stitch.

    When you are done you just wash it.

    I have made these pants using that

    There is also something called waste canvas which you pull out after you are done stitching. But I don’t have personal experience with that.







  • Not flute working but sewing, and I know it sounds insane, but mm is just to small to be practical. It’s one or two strands of tread whereas 1/4 or even 1/8 gives a proper piece to cut of.

    And 1/4 inch seem allowance is just so much less bulky than the standard 0,75 cm, and so much more intuitive for me to work with … and f. I just realized that all my arguments for using inches are based on habits…

    Even though I’m european I never really applied cm in anything but homework and therefore never got a real sense of it. And a lot of the nice sewing patterns are in inches so that’s where i started.
