I would like to print out a cross stitch pattern and make some christmas gifts. I don't want to use iron on t-shirt transfers. Can I print it on freezer paper & iron it on to fabric? Any suggestions? Thanks

There is a product that is like cross stitch fabric but it is sort of like tear away paper. You just pin or stay stitch it to your sweatshirt and then do the cross stitch design. After you finish you just tear it away but for the life of me I can't think of the name of the product. Maybe someone else remembers it.

I finally thought of the name of the product!! It's called waste canvas. I am getting so forgetful it is starting to scare me!

I've used waste canvas before on t-shirts, it works pretty well.

It's been a long time ago, but I have used waste canvas too. You baste it to your t-shirt or sweatshirt. It is usually two strands woven together each way to form your squares. After finishing the x-stitch, you get the waste canvas wet (I used a spray bottle of water) and the strands of the canvas get soft and you just pull them out of the x-stitch. Tweezers work nice to get ahold of the ends of the strands. It worked really well.

Waste canvas is the best to use. It's pretty easy to work with and fun to remove. I made a baby t-shirts with cars and trucks and then used buttons for the wheels. Cross stitch on sweat shirts and t-shirts and always used it. In fact I'm planning on using it again. As soon as I find some. Once you try it-you'll like it. The tweezer hint is a good one!! That's what I used to.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I will look on the internet for waste canvas. Anyone buy it lately?Favorite supplier? Thanks again.
