Cross Stitch Crafty Tip Did you know that you can do counted cross stitch on regular fabric? You can put unique designs on clothing or anything else you'd like to stitch on. Use a nifty little product called "Waste Canvas", found at most craft stores. You cut a piece slightly larger than your stitching and baste onto your fabric. Using a normal sewing "sharp" needle, stitch your project - don't pull your stitches real tight. When done, thoroughly wet the waste canvas and stitching. Then, remove the waste canvas with tweezers. Let it dry, and you have a unique item.
