Framing Fabric:
We understand that stretching and framing fabrics is a very specialist job, and a job to be done with patience and care. In the past we have framed up both antique and modern fabrics, from silk to cotton, adapting the stretching process to the individual job.
Standard: We stretch using a double sided tapestry tape, which is designed especially for use on fabrics. It is a strong adhesive, yet it easily releases from fabric, so your piece will never be permanently stuck down.
Conservation: For delicate fabric (e.g. silk), antique embroideries, and fabrics precious to you: we would always suggest stretching to a conservation quality. When stretching to a conservation quality we carefully hand stitch your fabric onto PH neutral cotton and then stretch it over a Rag Matt mountboard.
Fabric should always be kept from touching the glass, as over time this can cause the fabric to rot and disintegrate. Therefore we always suggest framing fabrics using a mount and/or a fillet, both of which act as a barrier between the fabric and the glass (see conservation for details).
To protect your fabric from fading we would suggest framing with UV protect glass.
