Soluble canvas, also known as waste canvas or removable canvas, is a type of cross-stitch fabric commonly used in embroidery, particularly for weekend projects or temporary decorative work. This type of canvas is typically made from a special material that dissolves in water or can be removed with hot water. After completing your project by pinning or stitching, you can easily remove the fabric by immersing it in a dissolving liquid (usually hot water) or by washing it. This reveals your stitched design and leaves behind a usable fabric. Soluble canvas can be used as a temporary marker, especially for sewing projects or markings. For example, it can be used to mark the location of a pattern while sewing or to define a seam line. It can also be used to create a temporary pattern or to test a pattern before reusing a fabric. Since this type of canvas is used as a temporary marker, it is not suitable for creating a permanent decorative piece as a final product. However, it is very useful for temporary projects or trial work, and because it can be easily removed, it is ideal for correcting or changing sewing operations or markings.
