black & white canvas in action
As I stitched this little quilt block on Zweigart’s black and white canvas one word kept coming to mind — hard.
This canvas is tweeded. One direction has black threads, the other white. While the individual threads are the same as mono canvas, the woven effect is not and therein lies the problem. As you an see from the picture the white threads are more prominent.
While that is not a bad thing for the finished effect it makes stitching and counting extremely difficult. I felt as if the holes in the canvas “melted” into the white threads. And, although I counted threads and the stitches are correct, much of the time I felt as if my stitches were not true.
Add to this the problem that you can’t put a dark cloth or a light cloth under it to see and you have a canvas not for the faint of heart.
Even so, the finished effect is wonderful, so I would seek out painted canvases thaat use it as the background.
