Framing textiles such as needlework and sports shirts is an art in itself. Here’s just a few products that might make the job easier. Remember to consider conservation techniques if the item should be preserved for future generations.
FabriGrip is a quick alternative to the traditional lacing method for mounting low value needlework on open weave fabrics - watch our video to see how it works.
If using a traditional lacing method, T-Pins can be inserted into the edges of foam centre board to temporarily position the artwork.
Cut the length of FabriGrip needed to fit around the support board. To do this, use a Spacer & Slip Cutter.
Now twist the FabriGrip pieces up and down to fit them onto the support board. Do this on all four sides.
Centre the needlework on the board and lightly tension at the centre points. The sharp spikes of the FabriGrip pierce the fabric. Work along the edges applying a consistent light tension.
Make fine adjustments until you are happy with the finished effect.
Now it's ready to be framed in your chosen moulding.
