Something you may not know about me is that I used to work as a picture framer when I was studying at uni. I spent several years doing this, in a variety of businesses, and then eventually taught picture framing at the local community college.<\/p>\n
Whenever needlework came in to be framed, they’d save them for me to do on the days I was working. I enjoyed doing it, and they knew that I would give the needlework the respect it deserved. I saw some amazing textiles during my time picture framing.<\/p>\n
This video is a sped up version of framing a piece of needlepoint. Much of the process is the same or similar to how I would do it. It gives you an insight into the labour-intensive nature of picture framing. The time it takes, coupled with the high-quality materials that can be used to preserve your precious needlework gives some idea as to why picture framing can be expensive.<\/p>\n
