Kim,
If you need to stretch your own REALLY custom size, here's an idea:
I have a composition I am working on that measures 30 1/2 " x 35 1/2 ". I successfully achieved this in a stretched linen canvas using (Utrecht) heavy duty stretchers that were 30" x 36". What I did was to knock the four corners out of kilter by 1/4 " , and then trim the protruding tenons with a saw. Then I stretched the linen over the specially prepared stretchers as I normally would. You need to use heavy duty stretchers, and 1/4" is about as far as you can push each corner. But this doubles to 1/2" overall!
