Water-soluble waste canvas

Yes, that's what it says! Just got my newsletter from DMC and they
announced a new product:
Water-soluble waste canvas!! Here's what they said about it:

"... using our NEW Water Soluble 14-count Waste Canvas which is
available at SHOP DMC for your shopping convenience.

"This innovative 14-count waste canvas dissolves when soaked in
water!

"All you need to do is tack the canvas to your chosen material and
cross stitch as usual……simply place the finished piece in a bowl of
warm water and the canvas disappears leaving you with a customized
piece of accessory or home decor item!"

Now *that* could be very handy! Wonder how long till it's in the
stores?

I wonder how it differs from the waste canvas already available.

Someone else -- maybe Janet -- mentioned that to MOI. I doubt if it
will make it to the local craft shops any time soon. HMMM, I'm off to
Janet's this afternoon. We leave for the Celebration of Needlework "do"
at 0dark:30 tomorrow morning so maybe I will see some of it at the
Marketplace. If so, you KNOW I will purchase myself a bit of it :-).

I don't know if it will be that long. According the British stitching
mags, it's been available there for about five or six months.
Hopefully, it will be here soon. As to the staining issue, the article
I read didn't mention it. The instructions are to soak the finished
item in "hot soapy water" for about 10 minutes, and that should do it.
It would certainly be easier to use, I think, than traditional waste
canvas, but it seems fairly expensive. An 8 inch square sheet costs
three pounds, 95 pence, in Britain. That would be about 9 dollars here
in Canada.
