Cross Stitch/25 ct dublin linen

Question
I recently purchased a pattern for a large cross stitch picture which recommends 25 ct dublin linen over 1 stitch.  On the website, they say that they have tested all of their patterns and recommend this evenweave fabric.  My problem is finding this linen, and the high cost of it when I do find it.  Is there something else that I can use and get great results?  Thank you so much for your help!

Answer
Hello, Sue

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with all the linens and evenweaves.  I do know of website that offers the type of fabric that you've mentioned.  It's located here:

I'm not sure how much the linen was at the place(s) you were looking at.  However, these people are very good about shipping their orders out on time.

My apologies for not being able to help you further.

Sincerely,

Angela

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
