Reddit reviews DMC DC90 Water Soluble Cross Stitch Canvas, 8 by 8-1/2-Inch, White,

Peg+cat shoes would be awesome!! I used a water soluble canvas, and a sharp sewing needle! The canvas I used was this one

Here's the one I used -

I wouldn't actually put the words on the hankie if you're doing crossstitch, only if you're doing embroidery..?

This might be helpful if you want the cross stitch to be even without using Aida cloth --

I used this a few times to do cross stitch on denim. I'm not sure how well it would work on sometho more fragile /thinner fabric like a hankie, but might be worth a try.

Takes a few soaks in hot water to dissolve it but it's been pretty great

I've never cross stitched where it's viewable on either side, so someone else can answer about that. You can purchase a water soluble marker for designing on fabric, and/or water soluble fabric for keeping the squares/acts as a guide. I use the pens a bunch and they've always come out, I've used the water soluble fabric once and it worked great.

Here is a link for the product on Amazon. :) http://amzn.com/B004NI5NZM

I haven’t used waste canvas, but I have used wash away, water soluble canvas

I used it on denim and it turned out really well.

Since the other person hasn't responded yet, I went looking for what they were talking about. Looks pretty cool!

I haven't tried this yet myself, but DMC makes dissolvable Aida fabric!

I'd use soluable canvase instead of waste canvas, it's much easier in my opinion.
