Definition: Waste Canvas is a grid woven of fibers which is basted onto fabric and used as a guide for placement of individual cross stitches. When all of the cross stitches in a design are complete, the fibers of the waste canvas grid are moistened and removed by gently pulling them out from under the stitches.
