Embroidery - cross stitch framing is very popular at Fulwood Gallery.

Embroidery mounting

We recommend using at least one mount or slips around the embroidery, this keeps the thread away from the glass and avoids flattening the needlework, this also allows the air to circulate and avoids moisture build up.

We discuss the colour choices and textures of the mounts and slips, as you can see in the example to the right the colour of the inner mount is an accent colour of the picture. This enhances the artwork and makes the finished piece outstanding. Using more than one mount gives you the ability to add this accent colour and depth to the overall look.

We do recommend using glass, this protects the embroidery from the atmosphere, even without impurities in the air like smoke or cooking, you will find that over time the embroidery will still discolour.

Embroidery framing

With the care taken creating your embroidery you will want to finish the project with a suitable frame.

We do a wide selection of traditional frames for embroideries, from walnut to oak, all the wood finishes. We also do a wide selection of washed and painted wood in the off-whites, creams and whites etc. (many other colours). For these you may wish to consider slips as an alternative to mounts, you can have both. We have many more traditional choices to go through in the showroom.

We have a great selection of contemporary frames to choose from, from super high gloss chunky frames to fine slim vibrant slips.

as with traditional frames we go through all the possibilities for your project. Our aim is to get the ultimate result with your choices and our advice.
