To ensure that a finished embroidery is mounted correctly for framing at reasonable cost, it is very useful if we can do it ourselves. This course teaches how to lace works on to the supporting base rather than doing it using staples, tape or glue which not only can stain or discolour the fabric but also can fail to keep the embroidery at an even tension. Mounted works need not necessarily be framed. Students will learn how to do both single and double mounts which can be hung after being lined on back. Information on acid-free materials is also covered.

This class provides the basic skills needed for classes constructing boxes, book covers, needlecases and round containers.
