Where can I buy regular (not stiff) artist size (13 1/2 x 22 1/2 inch) sheets of 7 count plastic canvas? I am making 6 Easter placemats and the stiff canvas I bought is difficult to work with. Also,what is the right size needle to use with stiff 7 count plastic canvas? Cindy
Answer -
HI Cindy
Annie's Attic has 7 count plastic sheets in what appears to be several weights.

From the info I found, use #10 for 7 count canvas.
I bought the artist size sheets (they must be that size) from Annies Attic but they are stiff, not flexible.

Hi Cindy,
When I looked at Annie's attic, I thought they had a couple of different weights of plastic canvas.

I personally have only encountered one weight and it had been the stiff one, not the flexible type.

I did some more searching and found the following

Darice? Plastic Canvas #7 Supersoft 12"x 18"
Description:Darice? Plastic Canvas Shapes are made with the highest quality materials, giving them a unique flexibility and brightness of color. They can be used for artwork, sun catchers, trivets, placemats or in any project requiring a uniform shape. #7 Supersoft 12"x 18"
