copying another comment of mine on the subject:

It's called waste aida, it is very loosely woven. When I'm done I'll take tweezers and pull the aida out from behind the stitching so that it's just stitches on denim.
Here is a nice little instruction guide.
here's what I can recommend: get some of the little rubber sewing finger tips to better grip the needle if you're using thick fabric. Use a sharper needle than you would usually use for cross stitching, again especially if it's a thick material. And finally, again especially for thick material, buy thicker gauge needle. I also used all 6 strands of my DMC thread for the denim to make sure the pattern was very very full and stood out well.
*edit: also, I could only find 18-22 count waste aida in stores. I had to order from Amazon for 14 count.

You could try waste canvas. When you're done stitching your design, you pull the waste canvas out thread by thread.
You could choose any scarf you want and use waste canvas! Use a little water soluble stabilizer to make sure its nice and flat.
I just moved some things around on my wishlists yesterday. I am really bad about reorganizing my wishlists all the time :P

Made in Oregon Lip Balm Gift Set Added August 11 to Beauty Wishlist :P I did a search for this contest and found something that goes with one of my obsessions - lip gloss!
Basically I followed the tutorial here
It was my first time doing this, and taking my time and following the video's advice worked well for me.
It is called waste canvas, I bought it on Amazon
I have two thoughts!
The first one is waste canvas, I'm not sure how well it would work on stretched canvas but it could be worth a shot! You basically stitch "disposable" Aida onto whatever surface you're stitching, and remove it once you're done. Maybe instead of stitching it on you can tape it, or adhere it some other way?
When you say stretched canvas material, are you talking about something like this? I've stitched on that before and what I did is design the pattern, flip the design (if necessary), make the grid the size of the back of the canvas, tape it to the back of the canvas, and poke holes through the canvas (using an awl or even a seam ripper). Then turn it over and you can stitch through the canvas!
I hope that made sense, but if you need clarification I'd be happy to try to explain it better!
I found the EZ Graf in a huge bag of random needlepoint supplies I bought from a thrift store, and it’s probably 30 years old. I did some quick googling and it looks like it’s not a thing anymore. You could probably use a waste canvas for the same purpose, and it’s probably much less messy/time consuming! I’ve never tried one but have always wanted to.
It is! You can pick it up wherever you get aida. It looks like this: https://www.amazon.com/Waste-Canvas-14ct-12in-18in/dp/B003W0F2RQ
Just get some regular fabric and waste canvas. Also some interfacing to keep the back together.
