Wow! This has been none of the most detailed & professionally presented step by step video, that I have ever seen!! I can not imagine how much professional & technical expertise you learned while in your Apprenticeship & how with all your years of work experience!! We are lucky to have someone of your caliber creating, sharing, & caring so much about your craft! What an honor it truly is to see you, your work, & your tutorials! You remind me of my grandmother, she was a private seamstress, embroiderist, sewist for an extremely wealthy woman - and she worked with another woman for 35 years. Together they created unbelievable custom pieces of anything the woman wanted 1:06:16 & worked in a beautiful separate house on the property - that was custom build, with beautifully designed wooden cabinetry made specifically to hold all the materials they could ever need or want, including materials, trims, gold & silver threads from around the world! My grandmother would love you & your channel ❤️❤️🤗
I had no idea how much work and precision goes into framing a piece of embroidery. I will never make a wince at the price again. You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
I have watched this video in its entirety a couple of times and replayed sections as I have attempted to mount and frame a small piece of cross stitch. I suppose instead of a stitch along it has for me been a mount and frame along. My next attempt will not be as daunting. Thank you so much for your clear, concise instructions. Linda
I so appreciate your skill and all the work you have done in this tutorial. I would like to suggest that after doing so much to protect the artwork, because that's what it is, that you go one step further and use archival (acid free) tape and boards. That way the tape and boards will not affect the fabric over the years. Brava!
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to redo some of the framing I did myself, This looks so much better than lacing the embroidery over the backing board I did. I am very careful of some professional framers after as a beginner I took my work to be framed. He glued my cross stitch to the board, and it turned yellow after a while and my work was ruined. I also had an experience with a master framer of tapisterie work. I did an oval petit point piece, and he came highly recommended. He took an hour to explain to me how my work will be put on a backing board, how important the correct frame and surrounding mounts are.
Just a little thought, those who live in really hot temps you might like to use something stronger than masking tape. I lived in Australia a few years and have had to repair all my long stitch tapestries a couple of times as the masking tape stopped sticking. They haven't been put back in as I need to find something that will work better. Great video Sarah.
Well Sarah thank you, you've done it again, another masterclass in how to do things properly!, and I thought the tip with the tissue paper and the pins was just superb, I can now see what I have been doing wrong all these years, next time I will know what I'm doing thanks to you.
I have watched this video, one step at a time, for two projects. It's like having you in my workroom with me each step of the way. Both projects turned out very nice. Thank you!
If I could leave a million likes to this video, I would have. What an absolute lifesaver, this is an outstanding video. You gave me the chance to finally finish up an embroidery project that's been lying around for 2 years, only because I just didn't know how to end it and put it in a frame. Thank you so so much for sharing this gem with us.
What an excellent and perfectly fastidious video, Sarah! 🥀I loved every minute of it! A big armful of “thank you’s” for taking the time to create this thoughtfully organized and methodical piece of educational content. I’ve always believed that the best teachers are those who share not only the step-by-step basics, but also all the little fine-tuned details learned through trial-and-error and years of hands-on experience. And you did that beautifully. I absorbed every bit of advice you shared and am ready to pull out all of my un-framed pieces and get busy framing them all, confident that when I’m done, they will look amazing and professional….all thanks to you.🙏🏼 I’m so glad I discovered your channel today.
What a fabulous video! I have a wedding gift I've embroidered and I think I'll give it a go framing it myself. You have so many helpful suggestions throughout this tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you ever so much for this, Sarah. I know this is taught at RSN, but there is a lack of info on the technique for some reason out there in internet land. I am finding framers don't get my work tight enough, even when not stitched 'wonky', so will def be prepping up myself in future xx
I have done this this on a RSN course and initially it is quite complicated to remember and it is really worthwhile so to have such a great video to follow along to is really super. The finish is well worth the effort, just need to improve my embroidery skills😅. Thank you Sarah.
New subscriber here. I've been thoroughly enjoying your embroidery videos! I must say that I have been a textile crafter (sew, quilt, cross stitch, embroidery, wool applique, etc) for decades, and it has never occurred to me to use a curved needle for something like this! I have just fought the battle with straight needles and worn fingers. :) Use of the curved needle here is brilliant, and I love that an experienced maker, like myself, can learn new tricks!! Thank you so much for the detailed videos, exceptional techniques, and for being such a pleasant presenter. Please keep them coming!
I dont think there are enough thank yous in the world for this in depth mounting guide! This video has been so helpful as I was mounting my first embroidery as a gift. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your videos. They helped with this project from start to finish!
Thank you Sarah for this thoughtful and well taught masterclass. I have just framed two embroideries having never done it before and am really chuffed with the results. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Thank you for posting this. I have a piece I made for a friend but had no idea how to present it. Framing it myself seemed to technically difficult a task-until I watched your video. I now feel confident I can do this. Thank you!
This was a really helpful video. I’m working on my C&D online . You explain it and demonstrate it slowly and thoroughly. Also, I can watch it again if I need to. Thank you for all your videos.
I loved your video! Your work is always very neat and carefully done! Congrats!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻But have you ever thought of using a needle holder (used by surgeons) when using the curved ones? You’d feel more comfortable!!! And would avoid pain in the hand! 😄
Sarah, your videos and tutorials are the very best and so informative!!! I really enjoyed seeing your step by step process, hearing your added tips and tricks from your experience. I watch your videos regularly and always learn so much. It is so kind and generous of you to make them available for people to learn, practice and know how an expert does things. I'm wondering if the comment below is from me too, but I don't remember!! It sounds like a question I would ask, yes I have laced and you are absolutely right about all the thread. I will definitely try the method you use and I know that RSN teaches it that way too based on books I read. Thank you, it is so much appreciated!!
Definitely a masterclass! Thank you Sarah and Jonathan (and cat). Do you have a video on stretching the fabric over a squarish fame? Similar to canvas paintings?
Wow! This wonderful video has kept me awake until after 01:00! You have done a wonderful job of showing us how this is done. What a big job it is though. Thank you!
This is a wonderful learning video and just in time for me to attempt doing it on a piece I just finished. Usually I laced all around the piece onto a backing board. Is lacing a piece not really the way it's done now? Does finishing a project this way give a more accurate result? I would love to view an explanation. A lot to absorb and I will watch again over and over I'm sure as I try this method. Anna
You can lace if you like Anna but I find myself getting in a big mess with all the thread! Lacing also uses alot of thread but it is a good method for getting your piece nice and tight
Just watching as a preview. I am no where near framing…just a beginner and making samplers…having fun and not pushing myself too hard but finishing each little project. 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
Hello Sarah. Thank you for your amazing instruction. I have learned a lot from your videos. A few comments about framing. Firstly, I had no idea how much time and work is involved. My first framing project took a long time. Second. Not all curved needles are created equally. I wasn’t able to find one in the country I live it so I ordered on Amazon. The one that came became blunt after 2 projects and the finish came off making it even more difficult to stitch with. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Sarah! WOW! This is a wonderful video. Perfectly finished. I will definitely do this. Do you happen to have the brand name for that box frame? I live in Newfoundland and May be able to order online or purchase locally. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your knowledge with all of us.
Just perfect ! Thank you so much for such a precise tutorial. Would you recommend that technic too if it were an embroidery project made on silk organza (tambour beading project) ???
Fantastic tutorial sarah! You've given me the confidence to try and frame my embroidery 😊 One question. Im going to be using a shadow box frame, and although there will obviously be lots of room for the embroidery without it touching the glass, theres still limited space between the back and the wooden side spacers for the thickness of the board/embroidery/calico. Is there a way to make sure its thin enough to fit the back back on ? Hope this makes sense🤞
Excellent tutorial! I will definitely use these techniques for my pieces. Question: were the boards, glues, masking tape acid free or archival quality? I ask because I see clothing historians always discussing acid free/archival paper, boxes, etc when handling heirloom or extant clothing and artifacts.
Brilliant video as usual Sarah so thank you. My only query is regarding the attachment of your little sampler to the backing calico. I'm not sure what stitch you used as I have the same problem of a small piece of work to mount. You may have told us somewhere else but wonder of you can advise,?
I appreciate your video. If I were framing embroidery I would never use masking tape on the back. Have you ever seen masking tape as it ages? I have framed my own artwork and I always use acid free materials so it will last.
I did mention acid free materials in the video, I just don't have any as I don't often frame my embroideries. And none if it is touching the embroidery fabric
Wow, now I finally know how to ro cut the corners! And of course also how to frame. Thanks so much!❤️ Do you know the difference between pva glue and bookbinders glue? Because from what I understand bookbinders glue is also pva glue. And I also heard the white wood glue is also pva glue. I'm confused 🤭
Wow you have the patience of a Saint 😂 not sure if I could do it, but will have a go with my very first embroidery, although I don’t know that it is worth this sort of attention
Sarah, this is the best video I've seen of the professional process of preparing for framing! You've done a great job! I do have a question about the thickness of the prepared project if I am just putting into a regular frame, without glass, I think it will be too thick to fit in the groove of the frame along with the mat. I've had that problem before. What do you suggest? Is there a less bulky way or does one need to use a shadow box frame for this to work?
I’m really surprised that you haven’t mentioned acid free cardboard or foamcore for backing. Also, the mounted piece fits into another backing piece with a hole cut for the stretched embroidery to fit into. This ensures everything is on the same level and is flat.

What a wonderful tutorial. Professional framing is inaffordable but this is a fantastic alternative. Thank you so much Sarah.

You remind me of my grandmother, she was a private seamstress, embroiderist, sewist for an extremely wealthy woman - and she worked with another woman for 35 years.

Wonderful story Sonia, you must have embroidery in your blood!
I had no idea how much work and precision goes into framing a piece of embroidery. I will never make a wince at the price again. You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Thank you. I appreciate how you demystified framing and provided us with the tools to do it ourselves.
I have watched this video in its entirety a couple of times and replayed sections as I have attempted to mount and frame a small piece of cross stitch. I suppose instead of a stitch along it has for me been a mount and frame along. My next attempt will not be as daunting. Thank you so much for your clear, concise instructions. Linda
Well done Linda! This is a technuiqe worth practicing
I was just about to type these very words!
What a wonderful resource this video is, and so masterfully executed!!
I so appreciate your skill and all the work you have done in this tutorial. I would like to suggest that after doing so much to protect the artwork, because that's what it is, that you go one step further and use archival (acid free) tape and boards. That way the tape and boards will not affect the fabric over the years. Brava!
I do mention (and use) acid free board in the video Cleta but I admit it was a long day of filming so I just grabbed the masking tape!
Wow! Sarah, you are such a marvelous teacher. Love your work, skills, and most of all your willingness to demonstrate them in such detail. Thank you.
I don’t think I have a piece worthy of this backing, yet! 😊 ty it’s beautiful.
Thank you for this tutorial. I am going to redo some of the framing I did myself, This looks so much better than lacing the embroidery over the backing board I did.

Thank you ever so much for this, Sarah. I know this is taught at RSN, but there is a lack of info on the technique for some reason out there in internet land. I am finding framers don't get my work tight enough, even when not stitched 'wonky', so will def be prepping up myself in future xx
Yes mount it yourself Elizabeth then you are in full control of how it will look at the end
Thank you for such a painstakingly detailed and clearly presented video!
Thank you very much for this fantastic class. You are such an amazing teacher and so sweet. Hugs from Colombia
Thank you Aleja!
Lord I’ll have to check back when I would want to frame whatever and watch 3 times or more..😅 very in depth and extra to boot…🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽
Just love the way you explain things, thank you so much. It's definitely a masterclass.
Great master class , thank you for sharing. 👏🏻💗

Excellent video as always. Great tip about cutting a second inner mount if the piece doesn't quite fit the mount.

Thankyou for this its really great to see all the steps in a video. I used my bar frame to support the board. 🙂
Now that is a good idea Lituve!

@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery LOL No! Im years behind!
Thank you very very much! This is sooo helpful. Marvellous explanation. I wish I could take classes with you. 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing! Thank you for the tutorial.
Beautiful work! Congratulations! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🌺🌺👍
I must add my appreciation for your interesting and informative tutorial. Thank you so much 💓. I will be using your tips. J
Thanks Janet! Glad you found it useful...

Thank you, Sarah. I'm self-taught and struggled with how to frame embroidery.

Such a good tutorial loved it
Fantastic lesson thank you. What glues did you use to stick boards and the fabric down?
A Waterbased white craft glue Christine
Hello Sarah. Thank you for your amazing instruction. I have learned a lot from your videos. A few comments about framing. Firstly, I had no idea how much time and work is involved.

Have you tried giving it a clean Gyla?
Sarah! WOW! This is a wonderful video. Perfectly finished. I will definitely do this. Do you happen to have the brand name for that box frame? I live in Newfoundland and
May be able to order online or purchase locally. Thank you for taking your time and sharing your knowledge with all of us.
It's an Ikea frame and says Ribba 21675 on the back Gladys!
Just perfect ! Thank you so much for such a precise tutorial. Would you recommend that technic too if it were an embroidery project made on silk organza (tambour beading project) ???

Question: were the boards, glues, masking tape acid free or archival quality? I ask because I see clothing historians always discussing acid free/archival paper, boxes, etc when handling heirloom or extant clothing and artifacts.
The board was, but I have to admit the glue and the tape wasn't. Invest in archival materials if this is an important aspect for you Leisongi yes
Teaching very well thank u
Thanks for the thorough tutorial. Do you have any recommendations for canvas work?
You can treat canvas work in the same way party fiesta; It's a bit tougher on the fingers but it does work!
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery thank you so much I will religiously follow your video
Brilliant video as usual Sarah so thank you. My only query is regarding the attachment of your little sampler to the backing calico. I'm not sure what stitch you used as I have the same problem of a small piece of work to mount. You may have told us somewhere else but wonder of you can advise,?
It's a slip stitch Sue
@@SarahHomfrayEmbroidery
Thank you 😊
Thank you!! The video is wonderfully done & so helpful!! I'm wondering, what type/weight of board is used for the backing boards?
It's about 1.4mm thick per piece so 3mm once stuck together
Yup, it looks like it was me!! haha. I just watched the video again and need to comment again on its importance.
I appreciate your video. If I were framing embroidery I would never use masking tape on the back. Have you ever seen masking tape as it ages? I have framed my own artwork and I always use acid free materials so it will last.

Wow you have the patience of a Saint 😂 not sure if I could do it, but will have a go with my very first embroidery, although I don’t know that it is worth this sort of attention
Try my video on using frames to finish your embroidery in first Jacqui!
Hello Sarah
Please tell me if you stitched the embroidery to the calico? Think I must have missed that bit? Fabulous tutorial thank you
There is a Calico backing fabric behind the embroidery stitched (see my video on backing fabrics) then the board is also covered in a piece of calico
Sarah, this is the best video I've seen of the professional process of preparing for framing! You've done a great job! I do have a question about the thickness of the prepared project if I am just putting into a regular frame, without glass, I think it will be too thick to fit in the groove of the frame along with the mat. I've had that problem before. What do you suggest? Is there a less bulky way or does one need to use a shadow box frame for this to work?
If it's too thick for a normal frame then it's probably best to go to a box frame Connie yes
You are awesome!
Thank you for sharing this!! Can I also say that I love that 🦚
Is that if your designs or is it one available to the masses?
It is one of my designs, I'll try and get it up on the 'Free Stuff' page Susan!
I’m really surprised that you haven’t mentioned acid free cardboard or foamcore for backing. Also, the mounted piece fits into another backing piece with a hole cut for the stretched embroidery to fit into. This ensures everything is on the same level and is flat.
