AboutHenry Babcock Expertise I learned needlepoint from my grandmother over 30 years ago. I can answer most questions on the subject. I know about producing needlepoint as well as cleaning, repairing and restoring.
Question I have two framed needlepoints that are old and have a few water spots and an unrecognizable stain. Can they be cleaned in the frames or not? If I have to remove the frames, what type of cleaning product should I use? Thanks.
Answer Fran,
Yes, for the stains you describe, you will need to remove the needlepoint pieces from the frames.
There are some great cleaning instructions found at the American Needlepoint Guild's website:
