Hi everyone,

I'm stuck on sourcing some fabric and hoping you can help. A friend of mine has just had a baby and I would like to stitch her some bibs, coming up with my own design, so all I need is the bib. I'm having difficulty finding cross stitch bibs though. Willow Tree Fabrics stocks the Rico bibs, but I don't really like them. I did come across the Anchor Baby range on Coats Crafts, which looks great, but I can't find out where to buy them from, either online or via a shop. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Lessa

Thanks Reta, have tried that, but all it does is give me a list of stores, a number of which I know don't sell baby fabrics. For the others, it doesn't give any way to find out what they stock, save googling them and hoping they have a website. None are that close to me that I could sensibly go there speculatively. So I don't have any guaranteed place that I can contact either online or by phone who will stock it and I can order from. It's a shame as would really like to use the Anchor baby range over the rico range, but might end up stuck with the rico range as at least they can easily be bought in the uk.

Have you tried contacting Coats direct to see if they can help

Just to finish the query off and in case anyone else wanted to find the Anchor baby range, I did email Coats Crafts. They responded to say the range had been discontinued and they were sorry they hadn't updated their website to reflect this. It's a shame as they looked really nice (and also of some concern that coats crafts don't seem to update their website very regularly), however I have been able to find some nice bibs on ebay, so happily planning my designs

Glad you found some that you like
