Easy Count Guideline

Tuesday August 5, 2008
From conversations in the Forum, I know that many of you haven't tried gridding yet. I know all the reasons because I use to be one of you! I thought that gridding was lot of work. I worried that the gridding lines would be hard to remove. I figured I could frog or work around mistakes, and so on.

That was before I tried Easy Count Guideline. I received a sample to test and so, being the conscientious Cross Stitch Guide that I am, I was "forced" to try out gridding. Well, I quickly determined that I would be a gridder from this point forward!

Reading about it is one thing, but if you have been hesitant to try gridding, or to try Easy Count Guideline, watch the Easy Count Guideline video on You Tube. It might just convince you to try gridding after all.

Wow, thanks Connie! This came at just the right time. I’ve been working on my first big project (check out the thread in the forum), and keep putting it off because I know I need to grid my fabric. I’ve never gridded before, so I must admit that I’ve been a bit intimidated by it. I think this Easy Count Guideline could be the solution-is it available in any major craft stores? Thanks again!

It’s a relatively new product, so I am not sure if it is in many stores yet, but it is available on their website and from many catalogs.
