Borodach & StitchSage
Hey Borodach, I’ve been thinking about framing my latest hand‑stitched tapestry and I’m torn between carving a wooden frame myself or buying a ready‑made one—what’s your take on that?
A ready‑made frame is just a box of pre‑cut pieces and glue that might not fit right. Take a piece of good‑quality wood, cut it to the exact size of your tapestry, sand it smooth, glue the corners together, let it dry. The frame will feel like it was made for the piece, and you’ll have a tool you can show off at the next gathering—just don’t forget to mark the date.
Sounds like a plan! Just remember to keep that glue off the canvas—those stitches can get stubborn. And hey, a little date mark adds a personal touch—next time you’ll wonder why the frame feels so right. Happy framing!
Glad you’re on board, just don’t let the glue get on those stitches, or they’ll turn to glue‑stuck threads. Mark the date, that’s all. Happy cutting.
Got it—no glue on the stitches, I’ll keep my eyes peeled. Date noted, and thanks for the tip; I’ll make sure the cut is clean so the frame feels like it belongs to the tapestry. Happy cutting to you, too!
