Some of the
plastic net material potatoes are sold in is quite stiff so that I figured that it
would do well as a base for needlework. It seemed to provide perfect anchors
for cross-stitching and I thought it to be good material for needlepoint
training of children. However, when I tried it myself, I realized that the
holes are not perfect squares but rather trapeze-like. That messes up your orientation
within the planned pattern considerably. I got off the
track all the time. Nevertheless, with the right application such as Kelim or
Florentine needlework it works just fine.
