I don't think a calligraphy style would work with cross stitch and would lend more to a satin stitch style. I would look at your word processing programs and font styles. If you use the word art feature in Microsoft Word or whatever WordPefect may have (haven't kept current with that program), I think you may find what you want. With a bit of playing around with the programs, you just might get what you want. If you still want cross stitch, get graph paper and superimpose it on the letters to get the stitch line and pattern.

Have you tried Country Curtains? JCP, BedBath&Beyond & Overstock are some other places you can try. I assume you're aware that curtains displayed as gathered on a rod can easily be hung with rings, so don't let how they're hanging deter you from buying curtain you like. I just finished making short, unlined panel curtains and even though they were only 63" long I would not say they were easy to make. Sewing them was easy, but cutting them all square was not! Not having a large surface to work from was an issue but at least I had my kitchen peninsula, which still wasn't quite wide enough. If you can find them ready made in the fabric you like, don't hesitate to buy and cut the hem. The iron on tape is fantastic! Here is a link that might be useful: country curtains

I'm sure you've already searched here, but I saw good bin pulls at Lee Valley. Top Knobs? Not sure about the attachment situation.

Thanks nosoccermom. I will definitely ask about that. Today I measure to see how many of which length I will need. Then pop them off an email and hope that they will work with me. I am doing a "face lift" so I am hoping I can justify the cost by explaining to myself that I am not buying cabinets. Plus, the beauty of the things should draw the eye away from the dang arch on the cabinet doors.
