Thanks in advance!! I am also looking for a company that sells canvas purse blanks. If anyone can help me I would love it! Deb

I use an iron on mesh from Floriani...and add to that if I need to (and I almost always do...) I keep a variety of weights of stabilizer, plus flesh and black, just in case I need them.. www.embroidery.com www.embroiderysuperstore.com Chrys

I would use two layers of mesh or Poly Mesh. Iron on is fine. If you don't use the iron on I would use 505 to keep the shirt from "walking" while you embroider on it.

| Try ShoppersRule.com for blanks. Not sure if they always have the bags but you can check it out. |

for blanks you can also check S&S Activewear and Sanmar, do a google search for the product you want... It's helpful if you have a vendor's license... mine cost me $25 at my county gov't office... you can often get better pricing that way... MO life is too short, not to explore
