Hi jh - I always use Wichelt fabric for my big special projects. It is a nicer fabric to work with and doesn't have a ton of starch in it like DMC. If this is something you will be spending a lot of time on and then spending money to have matted/framed give a second thought to the Wichelt. It is a bit more expensive but by far the best choice.

Thank you I ordered the less expensive prior to receiving a reply. But have sent an email and hopefully will be able to change it before my order is shipped. I plan to call them tomorrow also

Love the colors
