Although some printed canvases only have one color per intersection, most printed canvases will have some intersections with more than one color. It’s because needlepoint canvas is not a perfect even weave; the count can vary slightly. The file to print is expecting perfection and the result is the divided color intersection.
Because these canvases are very popular, I’m sharing this blog post from Unwind Studio, which is full of great hints on stitching printed canvases. There are tips and videos for beginning and advanced students, with close-up pictures.
