You’re amazing! A lot of good information and enjoyable to watch. I have just a couple of questions, I noticed you use red cotton thread, has the industry become better about setting colors? No criticism just wondering! Also where can I find the conservative board that you use? I would like to try my hand at stretching my needlework. Watched part 1 and now part 2 worth watching again.
Hi, Thanks! There are certain colours I would not trust to be colour-fast and red is one of them! However, that is regarding washing; in the back of a frame it shouldn't be an issue. I deliberately used this colour as it's very easy to see, normally I pay little attention, just whatever I have. The best place to get proper conservation quality board is a (good) picture framer, they will probably have offcuts, save buying a whole big sheet.
This one is well worth following, look forward to more John
