Great idea! Why didn't I think of that. Thanks for sharing.

your Michaels is not telling you the truth--mine carries it and can order it for you--i use double thickness and use yard around the edges after cutting out with rounded edges.

this is a great idea! I also have old plastic placemats that have seen better days that could be used inside a sleeve. Thanks for the great idea. I love this board!!!

Where does anyone buy their plastic canvas?
WM quilt selling it, Michaels (our local one) only gets in 12 sheets a week and is telling the customers they can't order more than that!

Hello Grannie. I use # 12 plastic canvas for all my bags. Just make sure it is ancored well other wise it will slide around.
