How do I frame a piece of needlepoint?
To frame needlepoint, you need to secure it to a mat and then place it under glass within a frame. Because old needlepoint is often fragile, consider visiting a frame shop to have a professional perform the work. Not only can this help to reduce the risk of damage, but it will also allow you to benefit from expert advice regarding what mat and frame will best complement the item. On 1stDibs, find a collection of vintage and antique needlepoint.
