Cathy I weave and embroider and have curated exhibitions and taught fiberarts of all kinds .Displaying Woven works requires different solutions than embroidered works. It also depends on the way it is finnished , in displaying place and even on displaying goals. I also have seen (and touched) , some very amtique cloths . mirjam > well in a way it is - embroidered work is usually done on woven fabric. And Yes but embroidery adds to the Pull of the woven cloth and if done with different or same material it adds to the "terms of hanging', because of different reactions to dry and wet weather ,,,, > the expertise to frame embroideries would be along the same lines as the > fabric and thread would be indirectly the same scenario. I have followed several embroidery `expert framers, over several years, for a research i did on "classes teachibng Handcrafts" at least soime of them who handled about a 100 + embroidered framings, made mistakes when framing Woven stuff , because they thought like you that it should be done along the same lines, Most woven work should Not be matted at all ,,, Ps when opening Old framed embroideies, where the framing was done before WW2, there was much dammge done by the way it was pot on a paper background, in every work i opened . mirjam
