Question 1

This comes with a design but I don't understand the instructions for using my own design, can anyone help me?

Accepted Answer

First, Do you have a design you want to stitch? Perhaps something from a book or magazine? Or do you want to create your own design to stitch? You will need to remember this product is "14 count". That means you can stitch 14 stitches in one inch.If you are going to use a design from a book or magazine you can count the stitches of the design at the tallest row and at the widest row. (You will get one answer for the tallest row and another answer for the widest row.) Divide the number of stitches you counted for the tallest row by 14. The answer will tell you the number of inches tall the design is. Then, divide the answer for the widest row by 14 and the answer will be the number of inches the widest row is. This product will work for a design that fits inside a box that measures 8" by 8. 1/2". If you have a tiny design you may be able to cut the soluble canvas to a smaller size. Just be sure the design will fit inside the "new" box of soluble canvas. If you want to totally design your own design to be stitched, draw it out on a piece of paper using an "x" for each stitch. When you have finished drawing the design go ahead and count the number of stitches in the tallest row and the number of stitches in the widest row. Divide each answer by 14 to get the length and width of the design you created in inches. Check to be sure you have enough soluble canvas for the design. If, for example, your design measured 4" for the tallest row and 3" for the widest row (4 and 3 being the answers you got when you divided by 14), you will need a piece of soluble canvas that measures, at least, 4" tall and 3" wide. It's best to leave some extra soluble canvas along the length and width for basting the soluble canvas to your chosen fabric. So, in my example, I would add an inch to both the length and width meaning my soluble canvas should measure, at least, 5" by 4". Before you stitch the soluble canvas to your chosen fabric fold the soluble canvas twice. Notice the corner of the folded soluble canvas which is the center of the soluble canvas. I like to put a straight pin at that point. When the soluble canvas is unfolded the straight pin shows you where the center of your design will be. Use the straight pin to attach the soluble canvas to your chosen fabric at the point where you want your design centered. Follow the directions for basting the soluble canvas and for removing the soluble canvas after stitching. Good Luck.

Question 2

How many sheets are included in this pack?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, there is 1 in a pack. Cheers!

Question 3

Would this product work on a black background?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  You just cut a square a little bigger than what you plan to sew.   Then hand baste it on the black material.  Next you do your stitching.  When you are finished sewing, wet/wash it, and it disappears.  It would actually show up really well while you are cross stitching, against the black background.
