  Step 1

  Cut the waste canvas to the same size as your felt and mark its centre with a pin.

  Step 2

  Tack the waste canvas in place on top of the felt all around the edge, using a length of waste thread and a loose running stitch.

  Step 3

  Work your embroidery stitches through both layers of fabric. When the design is finished, remove the tacking stitches and lightly spray the waste canvas with water to loosen the threads (over-wetting will soak the felt underneath and make the waste canvas difficult to remove; it is best to spray just a little to begin with, then re-spray as needed). While the waste canvas is damp, use tweezers or a small pair of pliers to pull out one thread at a time until it is all gone.
