I'm looking on eBay, where you can find everything cheaply, but the vast
majority of linen fabric there is the cross-stitch sort. So it'll probably be
easier to find cheap cross-stitch fabric than any other sort...

That would require:
1) Having already made the lace <g>
2) Knowing how to match
3) Having a fabric store nearby so that I can actually look at the fabric as
opposed to buying it online...
