Much thanks for sharing your framing talents…I love to see women take charge of their crafting…my husband has done a great deal to help me with painting and such…wishing you great successes in all you do and happy stitching sweet friend❤❤
Wow Kim, this process is immensely helpful to value also all the craftsmanship that a professional framing requires, thanks for sharing, your frames and samplers are gorgeous ❤
Thanks for taking the time to create this video, I appreciate it. I bought myself a saw last summer but haven’t cut down any frames yet. Now I think I can do it!
Goodness Girl... you do incredible work. I especially LOVE THAT SMALLER ONE with the craft paper on the back as the wood looks museum quality. All of the other wood is such high quality, as well. Very very nice.. thank you for showing.
Thank you for this tutorial, Kim. I had a bit of trouble seeing where you were marking the frame for cutting. I’ll watch again and perhaps it will be clearer to me the second time around. Thanks again for taking the time to go through this visual lesson. Super helpful!
Great help. I have framed one piece and have the cutting done for another from watching your previous instructions. It is a great feeling of accomplishment!
Oh Kim that was fabulous! If I can wrestle my sewing machine I can do that. It was very helpful to watch what you were doing as you explained! Thank you so much for doing this! My family might faint if I ask for a miter saw! But my husband knows the money it would save in the long run. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you SO much! This was wonderful and VERY educational. It seems much more doable now that you’ve shown what you do. And it makes me appreciate the cost of getting things professionally framed! 😅
Hi Kim. Loved your framing tutorial. I had no idea the inside frame needed sealing tape to block the wood acids. Thanks for sharing your source for acid-free foam core. I had gone to an art supply store and asked for the same; the clerk assured me no one carried it due to the high cost. Little did the clerk know the high cost would have been the damage to the needlework! Thank you.
TYVM, I never knew there was a Frame Sealing Tape!!! I think I'd use a popscicle stick to get a nice flat contact. Aleene's Tacky Spray is now on my list too. Thanks for taking the time to go over all these steps!!!
What a fabulous resource, thank you so much for taking the time to make this. Have you previously shown how to pin ? If not could you possibly do that some time. You have a very calm measured approach and your explanations are very clear and easy to follow.
Thank you so much. There are so many wonderful tutorials out there about pinning. I just don’t have the setup to do it justice. I learned from Kitten Stitcher! She does a great tutorial
Kim, this was a wonderful tutorial! I probably won't ever be cutting my own frames, but I picked up many useful tips from this video about products to use. Thanks so much!
Awesome video!!!! I bought the miter saw, clamps and glue as a Christmas present to myself so ready to go. I’ve been buying frames at thrift stores and garage sales for years so have quite the stash. Thanks Kim for making this video!
Thank you for a terrific tutorial! I have been collecting thrift store frames but was too nervous to actually attempt the process . I’m ready now to give it a try !
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for going to all the time to show us how to frame .. much appreciated.. I love your work & am amazed at how much you get through never loan framing too ❤️
Thank You! Now I have an idea how this is done. The framing tape is a great tip. I also like the tip on buying a larger frame and then cut down. You are going to up the sales on miter saws! I will be careful thanks again!
Thank you for this! I bought a used miter saw last summer and when I set it up, it was missing a piece that is supposed to hold the wood in place against the back board while cutting. As you might guess, that part is no longer available from the manufacturer and and I can't find it in any of the usual used marketplaces, so I've been afraid to use my saw. Now that I see that your saw doesn't have that piece and your cuts are coming out great, maybe now I'll get the courage to give it a go!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been collecting some frames at the thrift and am ready to try this. Just wondering what you do with the large pieces of glass from old frames? I love your channel…. your stitching is inspiring!
Hi Kim! Thank you for all the hard work and time you put in to making such a helpful video. I have framed a few of my finished pieces and I always have one issue. I never have enough space for my pinned cross stitch on the foam core. It always sits up higher than the back of my frame instead of flush with the back of the frame. Do you have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
I just place it inside the back of the frame and mark the foam core with a pen mark where it needs to be cut to fit. Sometimes I just measure the opening and cut it to size that way. I cut it pretty tight to fit the opening, just leaving enough of a gap for the linen to fit over the sides and wrap to the back
