Question
Hi.  I live in Iceland and I'm trying to buy a certain sort of Aida cloth but I don't know what it's called.  It has to be around 4" in height and be sold by the meter/yard.  I'm using it to put on towels and bedding sets.  Could you tell me what this is called and is it widely available in the US?

Answer
Hello, Svanborg :)

Are you looking for a product called Ribband, something that you can stitch on, and then attach it to items?  If so, you can try these links:

http://www.Michaels.com

And here's another link that may help you in your search:

http://www.zweigart.com/content/main.php?page=catalog/index.php&nav=catalog.php

Those are the only links that I can think of that may assist you.  If those resemble anything that you're asking about, then yes, they'll be widely available in the U.S.

I hope those do help you. :)  Good luck with your search, and happy stitching! :)

Happy Holidays!!!! :)
