If you don't mind doing your own hemming work, I have had good luck with www.fabrics-store.com . No affiliation, satisfied customer, etc. But as was said, I wouldn't get cross-stitch linen unless you really need perfectly evenly woven fabric as it is generally much more expensive for the amount you get. Just my opinion - that and a dollar will get you coffee at the corner store, but there you go :) Chris ===== . |\_ "Eagles may soar, (:> _)X but weasels don't get |/ sucked into jet engines!" _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
