just looking for some fabric to start the next project and working out the stitch counter ,i need 25 by 32 inches ,as i find working on smaller squares in winter quite hard even with a daylight bulb
where does everyone get theirs

I know I have a large piece of Aida somewhere in my stash I will try to have a look and let you know if I can find it. I did find a 20X24 piece but that is not big enough for you. Give me a couple days i will try to fin the other piece and get it measured up.

they sell large pieces of aida, 30x36 inches at Michaels

sewandso do various sizes and will do larger sizes if you contact them.

great thanks for that thank you for the offer rose ,i've got a coupleof larger projects that i've got on the list ,i might try some rotation
good to know about sewandso ,who are Michaels i've not heard of them but living here on a small scottish isle ,

Michael's is a chain store here in the states and Canada. They are a crafting store and they also sell on-line.

thank you

Tandem Cottage and Polstitches are both excellent companies to deal with so I would recommend that you look on their sites. If you want 14 count let met know as I have metres of it.

I was going to suggest Sew and so, they sell aida by the metre

I did finally find the piece of aida that I was looking for. The main piece is 29X46 and then it has a couple of side pieces that can be used for other patterns. Let me know if you are interested in this piece. It is white and 14 ct aida.

thank you rose i think it might be to small at that count ,i'm really gratefull ,it's lovely of you but i was chatting to an old freind yesterday down south ,who as she puts it spends half her life in crafting shops 3 times last week ,one she goes to sells off the roll ,and she's going to pick me up 2 or 3 larger pieces ,she says it's an excuse for her husband to drive her there again and she can say it's for sue
and gets to get some more cardmaking stuff while she's there

I thought it might be to small oh well that is ok I can always use it for something and maybe later on someone else may need a large piece. Glad you can help enable your friends stash shopping.

Hello milkmaid - please tell me where your friend goes to buy aida off the roll? I haven't seen a shop that does that in SUCH a long time!

If you're shopping by mail, I too would recommend Sew and So - one of my current projects is on a piece of evenweave that's about 3ft long and I ordered it from there.

i'll phone and ask it was in the portsmouth / southampton area ,

sorry double post

The local store where I go always sells Aida off the roll. They have at least 20 different rolls and if they don't have your color/size, they will order in a roll or piece for you.
