I think I last got architect linen (or the equivelant marketed to lace makers) from Teh Lacemaker, so not much help there. I imagine Lacis might carry it, but I haven't looked. Personally, I just use a piece of file folder, either with the pattern drawn on or a paper copy laid on, under sticky clear plastic. Pretty much exactly what I do for bobbin lace patterns. Sometimes I baste that to a fabric pad, sometimes I use the card alone. You do need to be careful not to stab your needle under the plastic, but it's really not that big of a deal :)
