I'd ask the framer to use non-reflective glass too. (I've never framed lace, but that's what I used in pre-BL days for cross stitch). It cuts out some of the glare & IMO is worth the extra cost Viv -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tamara P.

PS If you *do* go for a glassed in version of the frame, at least make sure that the framer doesn't seal the whole thing with paper in the back. The paper lets *some* moisture in and out, but not readily; you're running the risk of condensation and eventual deterioration of the textile. Un-sealed "picture" will have slight cracks between the backing and the frame, which will allow for freer air-circulation. ----- Tamara P Duvall Lexington, Virginia, USA Formerly of Warsaw, Poland http://lorien.emufarm.org/~tpd/ - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
