Tips to Framing your Needlework

Framing needlework is the final touch to turn your piece into a work of art. Frames have become an art form in their own right. There are so many options available now, that it can be hard to find the perfect one for your finished piece unless you have some guidelines. Give us a call as our experience allows us to show your work at its best advantage. 

Border color is important.  A frame of wood or metal should not distract from your work. The same consideration should be given to mat color, if you choose to use one.  Depth of the framing is a consideration.  For protection against moisture and mold growth, your work should not touch the glass. Use a deeper case with works like punch needle or silk ribbon embroidery. Glass is not necessary but your display will be exposed to dust and possible mildew. 

Don’t do it yourself when you can have us complete the task at a competitive and affordable price even compared to the “Big Box” stores. Your needlework is a reflection of your creativity and talent, set it off to the best advantage.
