I went to Lincs Embroiderers' Guild today and Mal Reynolds gave us a talk about lacing our work. He is very sympathetic to the problems of framing textiles to show them to their best advantage. He has a variety of methods that do no damage to the stitching or the cloth it is worked upon and are fully reversible should you wish to change it in any way. If you have ever had a bad experience with framers don't tar Mal with that brush, not all framers are the same. He would be happy to talk to you and suggest different options of framing and he's local. If you have spent hours and hours on a piece of work it's nice to know it would be given the same care and attention that you would.
