In Australia, washing of any craft item before exhibiting in the local shows
(or Fair) is strictly forbidden - part of the skill being judged is deemed to
be whether you can keep your work clean!!
So I'd be asking whether it's OK to wash it before you plunge it into the
soapsuds

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

I'd like to offer my two-cents on the subject of
non-reflective glass. While it might reduce the glare, it
definitely cuts out detail. If your lace is fine, you may
have difficulty seeing it as well as you would want -
particularly if you're planning to show it. Glare-free
glass works very well
I have to add a me, too. When I was a kid, I used to complain about the
fact that art galleries do not use glare-free glass and sometimes I had to
twist my head around to find an angle where the track lighting wasn't
bouncing off the glass into my eyes. When I asked my mother (art historian,
Maybe I missed it, but there's one point about framing lace that I didn't
see mentioned.
The glass must NOT touch the lace. If glass is put on the frame, there
must be enough spacers between the backing and the glass to hold the glass
away from the lace. Use double or triple matting, or put
Another topic I haven't seen covered yet is what to do with the piece
of fabric you intend to sew your lace to.
Your description of how you plan to attach the lace to the fabric is
great. *But* - and this is a really big but - very few framers,
anywhere, will properly attach the fabric to the
Hello all -
Catching up on digests after a trip. I ran down to Philadelphia to see the
Schiaparelli exhibit which was MARVELOUS. (In my opinion, their exhibit
hall puts the Met's Costume exhibit space to shame. It's larger, handles
crowds better and has an exhibit case down the center that

Gods, I don't know what kind of framers you guys must have to deal with, but
even out in the sticks here we have framers who are using modern framing
techniques. Firstly, yes, I would mount my own lace. You don't even really
have to use fabric..which will stratch and sag over time anyway. There

I had visited my favourite framer several times, and always wondered why he had
a large photo hanging there, divided into three sections. One section had
ordinary glass, one had non-reflective glass, and the third section had
nothing.
It took me some months to notice that there WAS glass over

Hi All, At my local frame shop they don't use the sticky fabric

I have updated my webshot album Bobbinlace with two pictures of a

Well, Janice, now I don't have to read the Bulletin when it comes! You've given a
