I have watched this video in its entirety a couple of times and replayed sections as I have attempted to mount and frame a small piece of cross stitch. I suppose instead of a stitch along it has for me been a mount and frame along. My next attempt will not be as daunting. Thank you so much for your clear, concise instructions. Linda

Wow! This has been none of the most detailed & professionally presented step by step video, that I have ever seen!! I can not imagine how much professional & technical expertise you learned while in your Apprenticeship & how with all your years of work experience!! We are lucky to have someone of your caliber creating, sharing, & caring so much about your craft! What an honor it truly is to see you, your work, & your tutorials! You remind me of my grandmother, she was a private seamstress, embroiderist, sewist for an extremely wealthy woman - and she worked with another woman for 35 years. Together they created unbelievable custom pieces of anything the woman wanted 1:06:16 & worked in a beautiful separate house on the property - that was custom build, with beautifully designed wooden cabinetry made specifically to hold all the materials they could ever need or want, including materials, trims, gold & silver threads from around the world! My grandmother would love you & your channel ❤️❤️🤗

I so appreciate your skill and all the work you have done in this tutorial. I would like to suggest that after doing so much to protect the artwork, because that's what it is, that you go one step further and use archival (acid free) tape and boards. That way the tape and boards will not affect the fabric over the years. Brava!

Just a little thought, those who live in really hot temps you might like to use something stronger than masking tape. I lived in Australia a few years and have had to repair all my long stitch tapestries a couple of times as the masking tape stopped sticking. They haven't been put back in as I need to find something that will work better. Great video Sarah.

Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to redo some of the framing I did myself, This looks so much better than lacing the embroidery over the backing board I did. I am very careful of some professional framers after as a beginner I took my work to be framed. He glued my cross stitch to the board, and it turned yellow after a while and my work was ruined. I also had an experience with a master framer of tapisterie work. I did an oval petit point piece, and he came highly recommended. He took an hour to explain to me how my work will be put on a backing board, how important the correct frame and surrounding mounts are.

A big armful of “thank you’s” for taking the time to create this thoughtfully organized and methodical piece of educational content. I’ve always believed that the best teachers are those who share not only the step-by-step basics, but also all the little fine-tuned details learned through trial-and-error and years of hands-on experience. And you did that beautifully. I absorbed every bit of advice you shared and am ready to pull out all of my un-framed pieces and get busy framing them all, confident that when I’m done, they will look amazing and professional….all thanks to you.🙏🏼 I’m so glad I discovered your channel today.

I have just fought the battle with straight needles and worn fingers. :) Use of the curved needle here is brilliant, and I love that an experienced maker, like myself, can learn new tricks!!

Hello Sarah. Thank you for your amazing instruction. I have learned a lot from your videos. A few comments about framing. Firstly, I had no idea how much time and work is involved. My first framing project took a long time. Second. Not all curved needles are created equally. I wasn’t able to find one in the country I live it so I ordered on Amazon. The one that came became blunt after 2 projects and the finish came off making it even more difficult to stitch with. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This is a wonderful learning video and just in time for me to attempt doing it on a piece I just finished. Usually I laced all around the piece onto a backing board. Is lacing a piece not really the way it's done now? Does finishing a project this way give a more accurate result? I would love to view an explanation. A lot to absorb and I will watch again over and over I'm sure as I try this method. Anna

Sarah, this is the best video I've seen of the professional process of preparing for framing! You've done a great job! I do have a question about the thickness of the prepared project if I am just putting into a regular frame, without glass, I think it will be too thick to fit in the groove of the frame along with the mat. I've had that problem before. What do you suggest? Is there a less bulky way or does one need to use a shadow box frame for this to work?
