5.1 Mail Order
--------------
If you are having trouble finding that special chart or fabric, try contacting
one of the following businesses. All have been mentioned at one time or
another by someone in rec.crafts.textiles.needlework or in its predecessor
rec.crafts.textiles.
As long as this list is, it is far from complete. The advertising sections of
needlework and embroidery magazines are good sources for information on all
kinds of businesses which cater to stitchers.
Please let me know if you have any corrections or additions.

Some companies, while not selling directly to the retail market, are still
willing to answer questions about their products and point people toward a
retailer.
Note that my information about some of these places may be incorrect in that
they may be willing to sell retail.
Please let me know if you have any corrections or additions.

5.3 Crafts Information Service
------------------------------
The Crafts Information Service is a database of over 5,000 suppliers for all
types of crafts media. It is maintained by the PEI Crafts Council in
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. They enter a comprehensive index
for every catalogue and supply list they can get their hands on. This allows
for very detailed queries.
Access to the database itself, as well as other crafts related topics, is
available by the PEI Crafts Council Gopher:
<gopher://gopher.crafts-council.pe.ca:70/>
Most of the same information is also accessible by World Wide Web from the
PEI Crafts Council WWW page:
<http://www.crafts-council.pe.ca/craftsinfo/index.html>
This is a non-profit organization. Services are provided on a pay-what-you-
think-it's-worth basis. Users are informed what it cost to query the database
and send the information. If they find the information useful, a donation may
be sent.

5.5 Needlework Stores
---------------------
A conscious decision was made not to list needlework stores in this FAQ.
There are so very many of them out there, and the contact information changes
rapidly. But all is not lost...
The International Needleart Retailer's Guild has a free booklet with the names
and addresses of more than 300 needlework specialty shops. They mention the
U.S, Canada, England, Australia, and "even Portugal."
