    It's hardly an "old model", I see this stuff every time I go into Wal-Mart or any fabric store.

    I think you just need to look more. It's in the knitting section of any fabric store.

    at the craft store that I visited a lot of models like that, but that could be rolled, not rigid.
    is that what you mean?

    I do not know wal-mart because the store does not yet exist in Indonesia
    fabric stores here mostly just sell fabric

    Ebay was the only way here in Quebec to find plastic canvas.

    The Darice #7 plastic canvas is not rigid. It is highly flexible, but it is not like cloth. So you can roll it, but then it would spring back if you let it go.

    It is also known as cross-stitch canvas. It is almost always in the same section as the yarn for knitting.

    You want the stuff that has 7 holes per inch, or 7 holes per 25mm. Usually you can find it in #5 (5 holes/in, larger holes) and #10 (10 holes/in, very small holes). 7 holes/in is about 3.5mm between hole centers, and the holes will be about 2mm square (I think).

    Find some good pictures on that link I sent you, print them out, and bring them to the store. That might help.

    i think that stuff is rigid...

    okay tommorow i will buy it..

    but the plain only be purchased per roll (about 1 cubic meter), and it's quite expensive
    Can I buy a plastic canvas with a picture??, because it is smaller and more cost effective
