[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question Re Supplies for Plastic Canvas Class.

Tue Sep 22 11:46:55 UTC 2009

Thanks for the site.  Sounds very interesting.
I wonder if they have cubic precut letters.  Long ago, I started making a set of magnets, saying Merry Christmas.  The store where I got the precut letters closed long ago.  
In the store, now a days, you can find, 2 sized squares, stars, crosses, circles, hearts and an egg.  Also there is an 8 sided shape or octigon. 
Did you see any books?

Terry:

Just in case other people taking your class want a place to order from on-line, here is a web site you may or may not be familiar with.  The site is accessible and easy to use, they have a 1-800 number and seem to carry the basic supplies you've listed.  The plastic canvas shapes can be bought in 10 packs for a reasonable price, not just by 1 single form or shape. 
While they don't have the best prices on yarn, they do carry a large color selection of Redheart yarns so for the sake of one-stop shopping it may be useful for people  ...

I don't own stock in the company, just found them in GOOGLE.
