Fabric
Remember when you're ordering fabric to include an allowance of at least three inches on every side. I recommend four if you plan on matting your piece. So if you had a piece with a finished size of 10 by 12, and you were planning on matting it, you should order a 18 by 20 piece of fabric. If you're interested in a fat half or quarter of fabric, indicate that. Usually a fat quarter is 18 by 27 1/2 (if the fabric is 55 inches wide). A fat half is 36 by 27 1/2 (if the fabric is 55 inches wide). Ask me if you need help! Beside some fabric colors, you'll see a number -- that's its DMC floss color equivalent.
Aida | Banding | Belfast Linen (32 ct.) | Brittney | Cashel Linen (28 ct.) | Cork Linen | Country French Linen | Dublin Linen (25 ct.) | Edinborough Linen (36 ct.) | Hand Dyed Jobelan | Heatherfield | Jobelan | Kingston Linen (50 ct.) | Linen | Lugana | Newcastle Linen (40 ct.) | Permin Linen | Silk Gauze | Silk Linen | Tula (10 ct.)
Silk Gauze: 40 and 32 ct. off-white. Use this elegant, durable fabric for fabulous results. Stitch over one with the ease of stitching on linen. Since this fabric seems to be "all holes," it's easier to stitch on than you might think. You can use flosses or silks to create masterpieces. Backstitch on it too! 10 cents per square inch plus $1. Inquire for larger amounts.

Banding: I can order most kinds of banding easily. If you are looking for a particular count and/or width of banding, let me know. The minimum order is one yard.
Aida: I do stock some Aidas, and can order others. Minimum order for my customers is 1/2 yard, which generally costs $16.00 (my minimum order with my distributors is 1 yard.) I don't sell a lot of Aida, but I am most happy to get it in for you, if it's not already in stock.
