[Nfb-krafters-korner] Plastic canvas

[Eileen Scrivani]

Terry:

Just to confirm with you, when I was looking on-line for the supplies for 
your class, I think the web site said that 7 count means you get 7 
squares/stitches to 1 inch & 10 count means you'd get 10 squares or stitches 
to 1 inch.  So on a four inch square, does this mean there should be 28 
squares?  I just got my 7 count canvas today and the holes feel pretty small 
to me.  I think I'd have a difficult time with 10 count.  Do you ever use 
the 5 count which from what I saw seems to be the largest this stuff comes 
in??  I'm hoping that the needle will help me poke through the holes and be 
better able to feel where I'm going.  Just wondering.

Thanks.

Eileen
