how do you stretch your finished work?

i am looking for best way to stretch the work that i have done.help?

gladstone72 Publish time 2011-7-30 21:57

The easiest way is to take to a framer. If your wanting to do it yourself, the best way is to use a piece of acid free foambroad and either sew or pin to the back. Here is a great site to go to, http://www.squidoodotcom/how-to-stretch-mount-a-cross-stitch-needlework
Just replace the word dot between squidoo and com with a period. Hope this helps.
