Cross-Stitch Patterns | Supplies | Instruction

When doing a cross-stitch, how to you attach waste mesh canvas to a garment?? Laymen’s terms please, thanks!

I’ve done plenty of regualr cross-stitch patterns but this is my first time using waste canvas. I’m using it to add Christmas designs to shirts. The book I have says to “cut a piece of lightweight, non-fusible interfacing same size as canvas to provide a firm stitching base” then after stitiching it says to “Baste canvas and interfacing to garment. Dampen canvas slightly to remove sizing”. Help!

I usually pin the waste canvas onto the garment, then baste it on with long, loose stitches and remove the pins. The basting stitches can be removed when you’re done cross-stitching. I’ve used waste canvas many times, including on sweatshirts and other things that get a lot of wear, and I’ve never used interfacing. The stitching seems to hold up quite well without it.
