Instruction:
When you are going to stitch on water-soluble canvas you need embroidery yarn, a needle and a pair of scissors. Place the water-soluble canvas where you want your cross-stitch embroidery. Fix the canvas with a baste thread. Stitch your motif on the water-soluble canvas. Remove the baste thread before washing. Fill a bowl with water approx. 40 degrees and let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Rinse it very well afterwards. Follow the drying instruction of the clothes. Now you have your own beautiful embroidery. When you are going to stitch on a new coloured piece of fabric, it is a good idea to wash the fabric before stitching to avoid the colour to come off on the embroidery. When you have stitched on the fabric, you just follow the washing instruction, but make sure that the ends are sewed well.
