framing

Post by dawnnelson69 »

I've had a few problems when I buy frames from like hobby lobby it has no backing on it. I'm fairly intermediate when it comes to cross stitching but I just can't figure out how to frame properly. The frames I get are generally roundish and just the frame itself nothing else. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You need a piece of Acid Free board cut to the size you want to fit the frame

Then stretch the finished piece over it

Thank you Reta, I'm reading a little bit of the site now and it looks very informational. It looks like I've found a new way to frame, thank you again so much.
