Cross Stitch
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 dooner cover?
