Hi everyone. I have a question. I have a poem that i want to frame. What should i use to stick it to the cardboard that goes in the frame and any suggestions on how to keep it straight would definitely be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I look forward to seeing your finished picture, Is it a prayer?. This seems a very simple way to put it in the frame, I do hope the pins don't go rusty and leave marks all around the picture. G

I agree about the pins although the video showed they were using stainless steel pins which will not rust ;-) Unfortunately, a lot of the straight pins in the stores are not stainless steel. With the right pins however this would be a super easy way to frame a finished project!

Thanks for asking this question. I recently tried to frame a prayer and it did not turn out well. The video was very helpful.

Here is a link to a video of a very ingenious way to frame your embroidery without any damage to it.

Hope this will work as I'm getting a link error.

Wow!! A lot easier than what I usually do, and not as costly as having it done. I like to mat mine so emb. does not touch the glass but I do believe this will work by laying mat inside frame and then proceeding as instructed on U Tube/Lillian

I never 'stick' any cloth projects to the cardboard backer. Instead, I wrap around the cb and tape to the back side. Any form of "stickum" will eventually come right thru the fabric. I'm assuming you are talking fabric poem?
