Only question I had was what type of thread did you use when you laced?
@RoboFramer3 жыл бұрын
It’s crotchet cotton, it comes in different sizes/weights; I use whichever fits snugly through holes in the fabric.

Excellent work. I keep promising myself I'll lace my stuff, but I always end up sellotaping it to a custom made mount and putting it in the custom made frame. It works well enough, but over time it can go a bit bubbly under the glass.

What is your source for the high quality backing board? What is the name and density of the board, how many millimeters thick is it? It makes sense not to use foam core.

A company in UK called Nielsen design but they only supply to the picture framing trade. I don’t know a retail source for this particular board. It is called Alphamat Artcare - there is a 100% cotton version called alpharag Artcare. A good custom picture framer may be willing to sell it, or similar. I used 4 ply, about 1.4mn - it comes thicker. I usually bond boards together if I need thicker.

Is mounting board the same as mat board?

It is - UK//USA terminology

I always lace was taught by the lady that got me into cross stitch. Can I ask what the mounting board you use is? I’ve just started stitching again recently.

I mention it at about 1:28 in. Alphamat Artcare, there is a cotton version - alpharag Artcare. This board contains zeolites and micro chambers which actively protect. It’s now produced by crescent cardboard and I think you’d only find it at good picture framers or their suppliers.

Would you recommend linen thread for this process?
@RoboFramer2 жыл бұрын
It wouldn’t be wrong but it is very strong and too thin and “sharp”. Also it would move through the holes in the fabric too easily and as explained in the video would relax the tension if released. Also not as much choice of thickness, comes on reels and not in balls, so potential of twisting. More expensive.

I don't see where to purchase "conservation mounting board" anywhere.
@RoboFramer3 жыл бұрын
Probably good art supply retailers, definitely at good picture framers.
