Question
I have finished a piece that I would like to frame myself. What should I do first in order to frame the piece of work. Do I have to press it or something? And what is the best way to make sure it stays in place.
Hello, Valerie :)
Unfortunately, I'm not a framer when it comes to cross stitched pieces. I've only framed 1 piece in the time that I have been stitching, and it didn't come out right, so I had it professionally framed instead. It will cost to do this, however, it's worth every penny.
My apologies for not being of any help on this.
Sincerely,
Angela

Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
