Framing Needle Art Pictures and Needlework Crafts for Future Beauty
Crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery and needlepoint are often fabric pictures to be framed, and as an avid garage sale runner, I see all kinds of framing and damage to needle art pieces that are not very old. With all the work that goes into needle arts, framing should not take a minor role, but should enhance the beauty of the piece as well as protect it for years to come.
Most needlework needs to be blocked before framing, and glass on a frame should not touch the needle art. How to avoid the glass touching? Leave off the glass or use a mat or shadowbox frame.
We have written an article on framing needle art pictures that may help preserve some of the fine fabric art work that is being done this winter. We hope you frame your work to be your legacy long after you are gone.
There are books written on this subject, but we have tried to condense some instructions in just a few words. Here is one of the books I have seen on this subject:
