Questions

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to get a pattern of my family's Coat
of Arms. Is there a place that makes them custom? Also, is there any reason why
I can't store linen (and Aida) in those airtight bags that you suck the air out
of with a vaccuum?

Thanks,
Lori

Can anyone tell me where I might be able to get a pattern of my family's
Coat
of Arms. Is there a place that makes them custom?

There are companies that will sell you prints of family coats of arms. You
could buy one of those and ask permission from them to have it scanned through
a cross stitch program. There are other companies who will do that for you if
you don't have the software yourself. Also, you could make a tracing of the
coat of arms drawing and use it as the basis of a free style embroidery.

Yes. Fibers need air circulation. And plastic is usually not a good idea for
long-term fabric storage as most exude gases that damage cloth. This damage
would likely be accelerated in the vacuum bags as the gases would not be able
to escape.
