ReplyDeleteI've only ever framed one cross stitch, but I think I did all of this. Of course, it was because I had gotten schmutz on my fabric and was desperately trying to get it off, but I'm pretty sure oil can't sense intentions...
ReplyDeleteEither way, I doubt I would pay to have my cross stitch framed. I sanded and painted a frame myself to match my floss and I think it matched much better than any professional mats could. It was super cheap (about $7) and the only difficult part was cutting out the backing.
