The requirement says "one-inch sample" which if interpreted as a single row is between 2 and 7 individual stitches in 7 point canvas. This is not an adequate number of stitches to learn any stitch and does not cover how to connect the rows of stitches side by side or how to transition to the next row. Instead, we interpret the requirement (and strongly recommend) that a sample 1 inch by 1 inch square of each stitch (except as noted) be prepared by each Pathfinder in the form of a sample canvas. The finished sample canvas will give them a quick reference guide to keep with their plastic canvas kit. The one inch square or length is actually a good rule to enforce as it trains the Pathfinder to count stitches on the project, another important skill.
