Hi all, I've come out of lurkdome to ask a question. I've never worked with waste canvas before, but I bought some of it about a month ago. I cut out a piece of blanket cloth for a bag I am making. Then I traced a design outline on the waste canvas, laid it on the blanket cloth, and stitched my design. However, when I was finished stitching, I tried to pick the waste canvas out via tiny scissors & tweezers. But there was no way those canvas threads would come out of there. The embroidery stitches I had put in were holding the waste canvas in place. By the time I was done with it, I'd lost
10 lbs. in sweat alone and my little bag was ruined because some of the embroidery stitches had caught on the canvas and been pulled out with the canvas itself.Is there a trick to using this waste canvas or did I just have my embroidery stitches in too tight? Any help VERY MUCH appreciated!
