A huge number of out customers come to us with their needlework to be framed.

We’re always very careful with peoples work, but perhaps more so with needlework.  We understand that it takes a very long time to create a tapestry, some silk work, or creative embroidery. 

We used to lace embroideries, but nowadays we prepare the acid free board with plastic strips with little spikes around the outside edges, we then use Polyester wadding to pad the surface of the board (this gives the finished embroidery a softer 3D finish, hiding any bumps or knots which lie under the surface of the fabric).

We always advise that you keep the fabric away from the surface of the glass, so using spacing (shadow box effect), a slip frame, or a double mount (this gives a space for any moisture to evapourate and reduces the chances that your work will grow mould).

 If you would just like some more information on framing your embroidery or needlework, then please contact us or pop in to the shop.
