Bad news, indeed, and symptomatic of many other things going on in niche markets.

But I still wonder about Acro's "adequacy." I purchased Tailor's Pride from Vogue, and I later purchased Acro from a local store. Placed side by side, I am pressed to find any difference between them. Granted, I don't have Barb's length of experience handling hair canvas, but even if Acro were some percentage lighter than TPride, could two layers of it be used? Not folded double, but cut and basted together along its grain. PITA, but I guarantee you would have a layer heavier than a single piece of TPride!

Barb, I'd be happy to mail you a piece of the Acro that I buy in San Diego. The store stocks it for the fashion design students at a local college. I'd be interested to know if it is the same material you have handled and judged inadequate.
