Needlepoint Stretching

You put a lot of care and hours into your needlework. It deserves to be framed beautifully for all to enjoy, and a well-framed needlepoint starts with the stretching of the fabric itself. We stretch your needlework over acid free foam core board, lined with cotton rag mat board, and pinned into place. If desired we can lace your needlework as well. Either method helps to flatten the needlework in preperation for matting and/or framing. Proper stretching can be done without having to use chemicals or irons to flatten the work, and should be completely reversible so the needlepoint is not harmed by the stretching technique.
