I did letters one stitch wide with a thick rug yarn.  I never thought of doing it on top of previous stitches.  If I were you, take a small piece fill it in and try making a letter.  You do not want to mess up your box if it does not work.  Let us know how it works.

Hi Terry P --
I like the letters&numbers descriptions better than the 2-number approach.
This could mirror excel, or even a game of battleship -- lol -- think of aiming at coordinates and firing ...*snicker*

I also have another request: Are there patterns or algorithms for incorporating print characters in the needlepoint? I was thinking that for my current project, in which I am trying to put 6 letters on the side of a tissue box cover, that I will just cover the entire box as if there were no characters, and then embroider the letters on top -- this would make them tactile, and give it depth for those who can see it.
Terry P: do you have any tips or suggestions on doing this? I was just going to take a stab at doing it myself, but if you have any wisdom on the subject, I'd like to hear it first.

I am trying to gather peoples wishes to plan what to teach.  That is why I 
suggested a plad or horizontal stripe to start with, for Terry, even though 
she wants squares with deviding lines.  That is a lot more complex.  You 
have to put the lines in first.  Also do people like the idea of describing 
with letters and numbers;
Upper left block would be A1.
Let me know your thoughts.
What would be a good time.  Not the beginning of March.

How about doing a plastic canvas class?
