I stitched these cuties for my nephew last Christmas; having a nephew gives me the excuse to stitch some soppy stuff every now and again. I used waste canvas for the first time and it was a lot easier than I anticipated although I still had to use some tweezers to pick out the threads after I soaked the felt. It has made me want to use it again to stitch cross stitch patterns on fabrics other than aida or linen in the future.
I guess soluble canvas is even easier because you shouldn't need to pull the threads out from under the stitching as I assume they dissolve in the water hence the name.
Metallic threads are still a pain though; I can't figure out how to stop the terrible fraying >,<
