is it true

Edited by anniekins at 2013-3-30 22:03

is it true that if a framed piece has glass over it it could get moisture inside and ruin the thread if the framed art is placed in the kitchen or bathroom area?bathroom i can see,but kitchen?

cdv7444 Publish time 2017-12-2 22:10

i have a lot framed work... never had moisture problems.. work was framed by professionals... a bit more expensive... but much better than what I can do myself;

In the kitchen I think it would depend on how close to the cooking area it is. I would worry about steam from cooking, grease, etc.

If you use glass it is important to remember never to let the glass touch the stitched work.
Use spacers to keep the glass separate from the fabric.
This will allow it to "breathe", helping to prevent thread rot and mold growth by providing the necessary air circulation.
