Awesome video as usual...enjoyed it so much...congratulations on starting your 40th year anniversary...from fixing slubs to the artist’s tape...great information for me to use❣️
Congratulations on a perfect tutorial on needlework mounting. As a custom framer I mounted needlework the same way. It is great that you encourage stitchers to do their own. Chances are they will do a better job then I have seen from some “professionals.” It is time consuming so most framers welcome the DIY customers. As a side note, not a criticism 😉...... I have wanted to jump in when you describe the lip in the frame....it is called the rabbet. You make me smile!
Thank you Jean, fantastic tutorial, and I’m keen to give it a go. Congratulations on the 40 year milestone. I am also celebrating 40 years this year, as I’m an ‘81 baby!
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks I benefited from you showing us that as well! I just pulled it through to the back. Thank you! About to finish up my first piece and have to buy the board and try to do it like you. 😊
Congratulations on 40 years in the designing and teaching field! Your enthusiasm and love of the craft really shines through. Thank you for another excellent video. Needleworkers Delight, my LNS in Metuchen, NJ, (pronounced meh-TOUCH-en) carries your designs, for anyone who may be interested😊
I truly adore you and your efforts to “entertain” and teach us new tricks. Been stitching since I was a teenager 1973 (14 years old). No, not professional like you but it’s been my life’s blood. Stay safe. 💙🇺🇸
Me again. As well as sewing a basting stitch all round, I mark the centres on my linen with a small basting stitch on all 4 sides and I mark the centres of my mountboard on the back so I can line up that way.
Thank you for sharing how you prepare your cross stitch for framing. It was so helpful and hope to try it soon. Congratulations on 40 years, what a wonderful accomplishment! Jane is a great stitch to look forward to in the Spring and I love Hobby House Needleworks!
You shared some really helpful and practical tips....things that addressed the challenges I encountered on my first framing attempt eg, taking the stretched linen measurement, adding a basting line (that will be SOOOO much easier on the eyes vs trying to follow a linen thread!), starting in a corner vs the middle, and using the back of a spoon to get the raised pins down into the board. Brilliant! Tx🥰
Congratulations on forty years of designing and teaching. Thank you for your very informative video on how to prepare a project for framing. And thank you for offering a give away to your subscribers without requiring them to answer a questions in the comments. I never could figure that out. Love this video and looking forward to many more in the future
Much congratulations on your 40th anniversary!! I really enjoyed being educated on preparing needlework for framing. Your daughter is an incredible stitcher too!!
Congratulations on 40 years of success in a fabulous career! Great video with so useful information. Pinning seems more simple and perhaps more accurate than lacing if I follow each step. Thank you!
Very helpful floss tube. When I have prepared my needlework before I used lacing but am intrigued with the sequin pins. I will try this on a piece in the future. Elizabeth’s sampler is lovely.
Thank you so much for this video. I will certainly try this method at my next finish. Your daughter's sampler is beautiful and the frame complements it so well. Happy 40th!
I probably should have started with a smaller project and one without a straight border ... but honestly, the steps are the same. Thanks for the good wishes.
Great to learn a new way. I usually lace my pieces but the next one i will try this method. I see a real benefit when there is a straight border to do your method. Thanks for sharing.
Lacing is certainly the "gold standard" of mounting but I think that pinning is a legitimate method and one that is in the reach of the average stitcher.
Your very instructive video came just at the right time because I have a question about the “shadow” that remains when you undo stitching due to error, etc. My situation is that I undid a dark thread on a light fabric and cannot erase all evidence of that former stitching. I tried various types of tape without success. Can you suggest a product or technique that will erase all thready evidence? Also, I am intrigued about the pinning technique you use. Why do you not pin 2 corners first, then pin the fabric between to fit? I know that there is a good reason why because you have figured all this out over these 40 years - congratulations on that milestone!!
The only two things I can suggest about the dark floss fuzz is to try a white eraser followed by a sticky tape on both sides of the fabric. If you plan on washing the project, it may get rid of the last of the fuzzies. I have been known to wash and iron a project before I am finished and getting rid of unwanted fuzzies is one of the reasons I have found the need for a mid-project wash. I'll have to give some thought as to how to answer your other question. I'll try to answer it next week.
I have always pinned into acid free mat board and then laced and removed the pins. I am definitely going to try your method on a smaller sampler I have finished. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Excellent tutorial. I will view this again, the next time I get ready to frame a piece. Thanks so much, as always for sharing your expertise with our community.
I am glad to see someone else also bastes along the edges before framing. I started doing it because my eyesight is poor and it was much easier to follow the stitched line than the grove in the fabric. I only stitch on aida anymore but have not felt the need to add fabric to the foam core but was interested in seeing the difference it made. Thanks for sharing you tips and talents with us. I like the idea of using the spoon. I had been using a pencil with eraser.
That was the best! I was so happy that you did the tutorial on preparing for framing. I have pin for a while and still picked up some pointers from you. I’m so glad that lacing is not the only way to go as some people had told me. I tried and had no success with lacing. Thank you for the tutorial I loved it!
Thank you Jean, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode on pinning for framing. I’ve wanted to learn this for a long time. It’s so sad that our finished pieces go up framed. Now I hope I can rectify that. Thanks, I know I can do this.
I've got 2 slubs on my current Zweigart - had to move the motif so I didn't stitch over it which highlighted it more - next time I'll perform surgery! Thank you. Love your hoop method to catch it and pull it through.
Congratulations on your stitching anniversary! Thank you for this tutorial. I have laced small projects, with varying success. I have never pinned a project but am anxious to try it now that I know the secrets to success.
Another great, informative video - thank you :)). I’m almost finished stitching a project that I want to mount myself. Your video is very timely!! The sampler your daughter stitched is lovely - as is the frame you chose. Thanks so much for sharing your know how!
Ongratulations on a successful career! This video was extremely helpful. I appreciate you demonstrating each step so carefully. This is one I will refer back to. Thank you!
Impressed how you fixed that slub! I can't remember if you mentioned this, but have you thought about doing more videos regarding speciality stitches like the French knot or the satin stitch? I love the look of speciality stitches, but have always felt a bit nervous about trying them out of fear they won't look good. Would love to see more videos on these.
I don't have any thoughts pro or con ... it was a big trend in the 80's to put batting behind framed pieces but it's not something I did. I do use it on ornaments, box tops, etc.
Thank you for this video. I’m stitching your design The Bear & the Moose and was concerned about keeping the borders straight when I mount it. I usually lace (I’m new to lacing only having done 4 projects) and have had trouble with keeping borders straight
This was a very lightweight cotton (100% cotton) ... if I had felt more comfortable going out, I would have shopped for something a little heavier but didn't feel I was making too much of a compromise with what I had on hand. I think the finer, tighter weave of cotton is better for the underlining than linen would be.
Jean I just finished 2 cross stitch for my granddaughter and daughter for Christmas. I gave it to them washed and ironed and ready to be taken to be framed. All of the framing shops here have closed so the only place to frame is Hobby Lobby. Is there anything we can tell them so it will be done right? I did these two pieces because of you and the stitchers roadies. Thank you ever so much for showing how to do things the correct way!!!
Definitely tell them acid free foam board only and to pin it; no glue or sticky board. In talking to the head of my local HL frame dept, I learned that they will use sticky board if not told otherwise.
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks Hi Jean - if you put a frame face down and take the back off - its the little ledge the glass rests on. We call it a rebate in the UK. It's where the framers hide the spacers. Hope that's explained it. Thanks.
Congratulations on your 40th. I have learned so very much from your videos. Thank you very much. Can you please tell me what is the lamp you have in this video?
Happy 40th anniversary! Thank you for another great video. When I finish my next project, I’m going to use your framing technique! I am wondering what you recommend for terminating stitches to avoid seeing the traveling threads. I am working on 32 count green Belfast linen and pattern calls for 50 star stitches, one thread over 4 - spaced about 3/4” -1” apart. Thanks
Scattered stitches on a dark ground cloth is a whole 'nuther thing. A traveling thread that short should not sag over time so I would most likely carry it from star to star.
Thank you Jean! I have some Frames I bought at a second hand store so I CV ould frame some of my non-heirloom pieces myself and had been mulling over the process of pinning. What a timely video for me! Quick question- do you keep a copy or two of each design you create? I have several of your designs and a few are from decades ago. I do enjoy your work.
Jean, thank you for your intelligent, articulate, and authoritative videos. I have a few charts that, in the listing of flosses needed, list 2 colors of floss separated by a slash and others separated by a dash (hyphen). Can you tell me what those designations mean? Thank you so much.
Sadly, the cross stitch industry is lacking in the sort of "standards" that lead to confusion among stitchers. That is, each designer organizes stitch information in the way that makes sense to her/him. In my experience this type of listing could mean that you are to create a blend by stitching with a single strand of each color. It could mean, instead, that either color is okay. Without seeing the whole thing (design photo, chart, and color key) I can't answer the specific question. Does this design company have a social media presence? Many designers have SAL or fan pages where you could ask for help interpreting a question like this for a specific design.
Thank you for the great Viedo as always. I have learned a lot from them . I am going to try what I learned today in the two finished projects that I have to be framed. Just wondering does it work on aida fabric too?
Though I advocate it, I often neglect to do it. I think I get too focused on being done and being ready to jump to the next thing. But I am vowing to follow my own advice. My plan is to to include project name, who stitched it, where it was stitched, when, fabric color and thread type. I'm thinking of a little more ... things I would be charmed to read if I found such a note on an antique :)
Thank you for all of your information on pinning. Can you give us the information regarding Jane Hatersly, floss, dimensions, fabric in case we want to kit it ourself.
I’m a bit late catching up on videos still after the holidays. This video was fantastic. I have a smaller piece ready to be washed that I want to try mounting and possibly framing myself. I’d love to know more about where you get your supplies for mounting. Are you able to buy the board and the tape from a local box store or Amazon? Or do you buy the materials from the framer? Thanks again.
I have my local framer cut the foam board for me. She has the equipment to make the corners exactly 90 degrees and the measurements precise. I bought the artists tape online from Dick Blick which is a major supplier of artists supplies. www.dickblick.com Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on a milestone anniversary. You don't look a day over 40! Question, I signed up for the SAL on your Etsy store, do I order my supplies from one of the listed shops? Thanks for the tutorial, very enlightening.
First, thanks for the sweet compliment! Are you asking about the Hearts Come Home at Christmas SAL? I see an order from you for that chart in my Etsy shop. So yes, you can order supplies from one of the shops I have listed in the FlossTube #24 description. To be clear, those shops have committed to being a part of the Jane Hattersley SAL which is a different stitching event. Some days, I think I have too much going on :)
Thanks for the quick response. Yes I signed up for hearts come home, but I also signed up for the April 9th sampler, Jane Hattersley. I paid $70, was that for the Floss tube tutorials? Just need to clarify so that I know to order materials and be ready!
@@isabelrego1624 Please send me an email about this: jeanfarish@gmail.com When it comes to placing orders, using comments here is not the best way for us to communicate with each other.
Hmmm .... I am trying to imagine keeping an accurate line between two linen threads with a pencil and then wondering if it would save any time. In general, I keep pencils and pens of all kinds away from my cross stitch. That said, at the point at which you would be basting, I can't see that a pencil line would do any harm. There is one other consideration which I did not spend any time on last week though I hinted at it ... the first line that I establish is not always the correct line. I'll spend more time on this issue on Saturday.
It's morning somewhere! :) I have been so frustrated that this episode took so long to upload. It should have been viewable by 7am. But it's done now and I can relax.

Thank you for the great Viedo as always. I have learned a lot from them . I am going to try what I learned today in the two finished projects that I have to be framed. Just wondering does it work on aida fabric too?
Yes. I think it is easier to keep the fabric straight with Aida so you may or may not need to do the basting.
Jean thanks so much, for sharing it is really helpful. Do you label the backs of your framed pieces, and if you do what information do you include?
Though I advocate it, I often neglect to do it. I think I get too focused on being done and being ready to jump to the next thing. But I am vowing to follow my own advice. My plan is to to include project name, who stitched it, where it was stitched, when, fabric color and thread type. I'm thinking of a little more ... things I would be charmed to read if I found such a note on an antique :)
Thank you for all of your information on pinning. Can you give us the information regarding Jane Hatersly, floss, dimensions, fabric in case we want to kit it ourself.
I plan to do that next week. I confess that I haven't done the DMC conversion yet!
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks That’s ok I’m going to try and order the cosmo
I’m a bit late catching up on videos still after the holidays. This video was fantastic. I have a smaller piece ready to be washed that I want to try mounting and possibly framing myself.
I’d love to know more about where you get your supplies for mounting. Are you able to buy the board and the tape from a local box store or Amazon? Or do you buy the materials from the framer? Thanks again.
I have my local framer cut the foam board for me. She has the equipment to make the corners exactly 90 degrees and the measurements precise. I bought the artists tape online from Dick Blick which is a major supplier of artists supplies.

Thanks for watching!
Congratulations on a milestone anniversary. You don't look a day over 40! Question, I signed up for the SAL on your Etsy store, do I order my supplies from one of the listed shops? Thanks for the tutorial, very enlightening.
First, thanks for the sweet compliment! Are you asking about the Hearts Come Home at Christmas SAL? I see an order from you for that chart in my Etsy shop. So yes, you can order supplies from one of the shops I have listed in the FlossTube #24 description. To be clear, those shops have committed to being a part of the Jane Hattersley SAL which is a different stitching event. Some days, I think I have too much going on :)
Thanks for the quick response. Yes I signed up for hearts come home, but I also signed up for the April 9th sampler, Jane Hattersley. I paid $70, was that for the Floss tube tutorials? Just need to clarify so that I know to order materials and be ready!

When it comes to placing orders, using comments here is not the best way for us to communicate with each other.
Thank you for the great tutorial. What type of fabric did use (linen, cotton etc.) behind the sampler?
Cotton.
Excellent video!! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.
My pleasure!
Another great tutorial! Is it possible to use a pencil line instead of basting? Thanks Jean
Hmmm .... I am trying to imagine keeping an accurate line between two linen threads with a pencil and then wondering if it would save any time. In general, I keep pencils and pens of all kinds away from my cross stitch. That said, at the point at which you would be basting, I can't see that a pencil line would do any harm. There is one other consideration which I did not spend any time on last week though I hinted at it ... the first line that I establish is not always the correct line. I'll spend more time on this issue on Saturday.
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks thanks Jean!
I have several stitched pieces to be framed. Will definitely be giving this pinning method a try. Thanks so much.
Wonderful!
Great video, Jean! Thanks for the lesson.
My pleasure!
Fantastic video. Thank you. I learned a lot as always.
Great to hear!
I’m going to have a go after seeing this thank you ,how thick was the foam core you used?🌹
Shows in video it is 3/16th" acid free foam core.
Yep. Terri called it ... 3/16"
Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial.
Glad you liked it.
It’s a beautiful sampler!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Isn't she, though?
Thank you for this tutorial. This is so helpful!
You are so welcome!
Very helpful to watch you pin this project!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow. I learned a lot today. Thank you!
Fantastic!
Very helpful. What fabric is ok to use for the lining/backing?
Stick with 100% natural fabrics ... cotton and silk would be my first choices. Wool would be too attractive to beasties.
@@JeanFarishNeedleworks thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial 💗
You are so welcome!
Good morning Jean!!!
It's morning somewhere! :) I have been so frustrated that this episode took so long to upload. It should have been viewable by 7am. But it's done now and I can relax.
Thank you for such an informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Jean, did you measure the one inch with the ruler and then draw a line on the linen and then do a running stitch?
I measured one inch, marked it with a pin and started stitching ... no line drawn.
