[Nfb-krafters-korner] plastic canvas

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Suey;
Welcome to the group!  I have been doing plastic canvas for many years.  It is a form of needle point, done on a plastic grid, like graph paper.  The most common types are 7 and 10 count.  I use the 7 count.  This means there are 7 squares, per inch.
Let me know if you have ever done plastic canvas before and if so, what you have done.  I can get you started.   If you have not done it before, get a pack of 4 inch plastic canvas squares, so you can learn how to make coasters, size 16 large eyed needles and 2 colors of worsted weight yarn.  Give me a call or e-mail me when you are ready.  Of course, you will need sizzors, too.

Suey,
 
Welcome to Krafters Korner.  We have had plastic canvas classes in the past taught by Terry P.  If you have more specific questions I think you  will get your answers here,.  What type of plastic canvas project are you interested in trying?
 
Our classes in the past have been coasters, tissue box covers and Christmas  ornament, etc.
