Cross Stitch

Jul 16, 2005 2 Replies

Hello, My name is Robyn and I live in Australia. I would like some help with transferring a cross stitch pattern from paper to fabric. I can trace the pattern but what about the graph, do I have to trace it as well. I want to make a dooner cover for a queen bed simular to a patchwork quilt.



Cheers Robyn Bath


Use waste canvas. It is a special type of canvas that you can baste on to your fabric. You stitch your design and then you pull the threads of the canvas out. Some types of waste canvas wash out, apparently.

What is a do> Hello,

Hello Dora, Thank you for the advise. My brain must have been in neutral, is doona not dooner. Sorry. Simular to a eiderdown.

Thanks again Robyn
