How to...frame a picture

Step 1

CUTa piece of white mount board

to fi t inside your frame. Place your

board andpin the fabric around the

board to secure, starting at the centre

of each side and working outwards.

Step 2

PINaroundthe entire perimeter

and check you are happy withthe

positioning of your design, then turn

over to the reverse. Use double-sided

tape to secure the fabric excess

around all four sides.

Step 3

SECUREthe fabric edges with

maskingtape andremove the pins.

Position your stitching in the frame

andbackwitha second piece of

mount board. Seal the edges with

more maskingtape to fi nish off.
