Re: Fabric
It looks like a double canvas -- is it quite stiff? and what sort of count is it?

Re: Fabric
It looks like waste canvas to me as well.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

Re: Fabric
I'm with Serinde-Congress Cloth probably 24ct.
Waste canvas tends to have blue lines running through it.

Re: Fabric
The waste canvas I have used didn't have blue lines, and the congress cloth had smaller holes.
Re: Fabric
I have used something similar for making place mats in the caravan
useing 6 strands of silk for coverage

Re: Fabric
Definitely not Congress cloth as it's a double canvas. Not waste canvas either by the look of it, it's too solid -- I would think it's a needlepoint canvas, which would be great for those beautiful geometric canvaswork designs, mig-3 did some of them I remember.
Don't throw it even if no-one here wants it -- either work out the count (measure one inch and count the number of double threads) and sell it on eBay, or donate it to your local charity shop -- some stitcher is bound to want it!

Re: Fabric
Of course it is hard to tell in a picture but it looks like the 18 or 20 ct waste tha I have used. Niether of those have the blue lines in it. No don't throw it away it can be used for different project some one may need or want it.

Re: Fabric
No, you're right, Rose. It isn't congress cloth. But don't throw it away!!

Re: Fabric
Don't worry, TonyStitcher sent me a message, so I sent him it. Before someone else uses it than be binning it, so I hope its what he was looking for.
Thanks for helping me decide what it was
