Default Looking for switch plate covers for crafting

Hello everyone -

My local crafting store has seemed to turn more into a scrapbooking and
packaged crafting store so I am having a real hard time finding something
which I would like: clear acrylic [or plastic] switch plate covers and
similar items usually used with counted cross stitch. I can't even find
them in my embroidery catalogs like Herrschnerr's. Any suggestions?

thanks loads!

Try the home improvement store. I paid a ridiculous price through the crafting
catalogue, then found them at Lumberjack for only a couple of bucks. The
package says they're clear so you can insert your matching wallpaper in them.

Jeremiah Junction used to have them, and I suspect they still do.
They have the magazine Cross Country Stitching. If you can't find a
mag, look for their website, which is
http://www.crosscountryshopping.com I bought enough for the first
level of our house soon after we moved here four years ago and of
course only have one done so far! They have lots of other things like
that too - acrylic calendars and desk sets, interesting frames, etc.

Yarn Tree, the wholesale supplier for many Needleworks stores carries them.
They're on the website with retail prices, and there is a listing of LNS you
can order from.

The link to Yarn Tree is:

Good luck,

I don't know where you are, but Stitchville USA in MN carries them. Ok, can't
link! www.stitchville.com will take you to the portal page.
