Waste canvas
I have a pattern that I would like to put on a t-shirt, it is Batman. U told me about waste canvas. I purchased the waste canvas. Now do I cross stitch my pattern on the waste canvas and then baste the completed pattern on t -shirt? I am lost. Help!

No. You actually baste a piece of the canvas on the garment & stitch your crosses like you were using plastic canvas. It comes in different stitch counts, so you can make your design bigger or smaller. When finished, you use water on the stitching to either dissolve or soften the waste canvas. If it's the soften type, use tweezers to gently remove the waste threads.

Be sure to use a ballpoint or tapestry needle on knit.

You supposed to based the waist canvas on the garment and then stitch your pattern that you want to add it to the garment. After you finished. You will take the garment and dip it in water so the canvas
will dissolved. Then hand your garment on a hanger and let it fry over night or dry it in your dryer The whole thing will be ready to wear after that. But if it had some wrinkles iron it and wear it with good
health.

there is one more thing I do after I am done stitching, soak the shirt, and pull out any of the waste canvas threads that don't dissolve. I turn the shirt inside out and press a piece of fusible fabric to the back of the stitching so the stitches are covered and protected.
