Fredrix has pre-primed linen that solves the problem of being sure to prime it properly. The 2 that I like the best are 111Rix and 125 Kent. You buy it by the roll and all you have to do is stretch it. When you stretch it, make sure that you pull it really tight because the linen has a tendency to sag if it isn't pulled tight enough. You'll need a canvas pliers to facilitate stretching the canvas, and I recommend spending the extra money and getting a good one. I avoided paying the extra money for quite some time and when I finally purchased the pricey one I couldn't believe how much easier it is to work with.
Hope this information helps.
