I have seen the easy count grid line, but when I showed it to boyfriend he said, "Thats Cajun Red! I have spools of it!" The 4-6lb stuff is perfect for small count fabrics like 18-22ct because its super fine and bright RED! I do have some of the 10-16 lb stuff in neon GREEN for the larger count fabrics. Granted the guys in the local bait and tackle shop think Im nuts when I come in and tell them what I want it for, but they think its great a girl is in the shop that doesnt smell like a pier. ;P

Oh and fishing line is about 1/2 to a 1/3 of the price of the easy count branded stuff from the craft store. You also get about 2 to 3 times the amount. Just be sure to say you need "high visability" line.

When you draw the grids using water soluble pen, sometimes the colour may not all wash out or disapp ...

as you say dark colors can stain the fabric, but sometimes, and I mention that I passed the milestone of framing if not good fences also leave, thank you anyway
