Needlepoint Border

Post by Roboframer »

Not straight or square and was never going to be - a lot better than how it came in anyway. Might have had more chance of blocking it better if the customer had not removed the centre first.... and also mitred the corners of the canvas that was left!

It's wrapped around a thick mount and there's a black mount between it and the mirror to prevent reflection of the bare canvas. Nielsen True Color glass.

A bit of a nightmare/learn-as-you-go job.

Robo, your fillet stuff always looks really neat - what way to you cut them? Do you have a fancy fillet cutter thingy?

Thanks, no special bits of kit, just a steel rule and the morso; I always reverse-bevel the mount.
