Is framing fabric more expensive than framing prints?
Needlework or quilted squares require more preparation that paper artwork. First, the fabric must be stretched or blocked flat against an acid free surface so it will display correctly within the frame. This is a time consuming process requiring skill and patience. Once this is done, it is important to ensure that the glass is raised off the fabric so it can breathe and not absorb condensation, causing mildew that may be attracted to the glass with temperature variations.
