5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/06/2026 - Great product
This products works great. Takes a little time but it clearly marks the grid and pulls out easily. Much better than marking the fabric with a pen and then hoping the ink comes out. Highly visible.

Easy to stitch and remove.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 11/08/2025 - Good for Detailed Backstitching
I use this product to "draw" the curved lines I need to make for backstitching on larger projects where exact placement can be difficult to determine. This method not only ensures that I will be pleased with the end result without having to tear out mistakes later and also makes the final stitching go much faster. I have used it to grid fabric for counting and it works very well for that too. Removing it is easy and I often reuse a strand on another project if it isn't too kinked up. I like that the bright red color stands out and the filament is very thin so it doesn't get in the way of stitching. Another great product I found on 123 Stitch to help improve my projects!

2 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/25/2025 - Does not work on 24 count single spacing
I bought this to help me with a large 24 count piece. This pattern uses every hole, not every other hole typically used with 24 ct fabric. This makes it impossible to thread the Guideline wire AND leave room for the thread. I will try it on a regular stitched pattern and see how that works.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/03/2025 - First time use
Thought I would try this for gridding. So far working well making counting easier.

2 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/20/2024
I will admit I'm not the sharpest stitch on a full coverage project but I should have put two and two together. This is no more than expensive fishing line. You may have to go to a big box sporting goods store like Bass Po Shop or Cabelas to find a very lite colored fishing line or fly leader line if you're wanting to save some cash.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/27/2024 - Best thing for gridding!
I love Easy-Count! It takes a little bit to do but SO worth it in the end! I don't have to worry about writing with anything on the cloth, only to not have it come out after I'm done. When I'm done with a project, I only have to pull on the lines and they come right out! It can be stitched over easily. Great for big projects!

easy to use

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/13/2023 - What I Needed
This product exceeded my expectations. I’d begun a 1x1 pattern (25 count fabric) and knew gridding was a must. Had thought about other products but reviews for this product convinced me. It’s a necessity item for me, now.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/05/2022 - I'm ready....
Remember the early days of the pandemic? I went to my local Walmart Supercenter and many shelves and hooks in the craft dept were empty. That's when I decided to buy what I thought I might need in the future whether I needed it or not at the time. So, I now have 2 spools of the Easy Count Guideline and I can calmly stitch come what may. Being prepared keeps me calm.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/29/2021 - This guideline is Awesome!!
I love this stuff! Nothing else works like this guideline. I stitch grid lines in all my bigger pictures so I don’t lose my place. After I’m done it just pulls right out easy and clean without damaging my fabric or thread.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/04/2021 - Works great, and I re-use the pieces
I grid my full-coverage pieces with this, and I can nudge it aside for the actual stitching. This is sturdy and does the trick.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 01/17/2020 - Very Helpful, A New Must-Have for Me
For all the years I did counted cross stitch, hard to believe I didnt know about this sooner! The grid takes a little while to put in then is such a help preventing counting mistakes. The monofilament is designed to pull out cleanly. You cant split it while stitching. Take the time to read the directions first about how to make the most helpful pattern.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 03/22/2019 - magic guide
I've mostly done my own gridding with wash away ink. I'm trying this to save time. I do a 5 and 5 grid and I think this works very nicely. It doesn't snag my stitches and pulls clean. I'm happy wit the product but will probably partial grid some projects for convenience too depending on size and where in the pattern I'm at

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 02/11/2018 - Handy
This item will definitely come in handy when stitching some of the more intricate Heaven and Earth Designs patterns! It will help avoid mistakes in counting threads and cut stitching and ripping out mistakes significantly. 123Stitch is always at the top of their game in their customer service. They have become invaluable to me in ordering supplies as we have no nearby needlework stores with such a fine selection of products.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/25/2017 - Great Product
I have used Easy Count Guideline for years. It makes it so much easier to count when cross stitching. I place mine every ten squares if it is difficult piece. Otherwise, father apart. One spool lasts quite a while, and is very easy to remove when finished. I have even been able to reuse mine. Joyce Miner

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 08/14/2017 - It's going to be a big help
I haven't tried it yet but I can see that it's going to be a big help. I've got plenty of projects to use it on. I think it's well worth the price.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/13/2017 - Great Product
This is the first time I'm using this product. So far, it's working great and just as described. I like the fact that it can be removed easily when project is complete.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/25/2017 - Wonderful Product
I cannot express in words how easy this stuff is to use. Unlike sulky slivers, it is easy to remove after finishing the project! Sulky slivers has to be picked out with tweezers. Easy count slides right out, simply grab the end and pull! Absolutely fabulous. I will never grid with anything else.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/27/2016 - Easy count
This is my first time using this products and I have no complaints. It does just what it is supposed to do.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 06/10/2016 - So easy to use!
I have tried a variety of threads for gridding my fabric. This is by far the best! So much easier to handle. Love it!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 01/21/2016 - Easy count guideline
This is the best product ever. I'm new to cross stitch and am going to attempt a large project. Saw this on you tube and ordered quickly. Its very easy to use,the instructions are very clear. I did a count wrong on a line I sewed and it was so easy to just pull out the miss placed line and reuse the red line again. Saves me a lot of counting with this easy gridding. 5Stars

This guideline was easy to use, remained in place while stitching, and easy to remove when done.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 12/07/2013 - Easy Count Guideline
I have been trying to use thread for a guideline but after stitching the thread will not come out! This product glides right out and leaves no lint upon removing. I love it!

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 10/01/2013 - Can't stitch without it!
This product has been extremely helpful in large cross stitch projects. I can't believe I haven't used it sooner!
