Hello been a while since I have done a canvas, I do not usually get that many. Anyway my question is this:
I have a canvas with an image size of 999mm, I will show a white edge on the sides rather than wrap the immage around. The profile I am using is 38mm high and 35mm wide.
When cutting the moulding on a morso do I treat it like a regular moulding and set the rebate stop at 35mm and the other stop at 999mm?

If you want it to be 999mm outside dimension set the morso scale to 0 for outside dimension size,

I don't do canvass stretching but thinking about it logically, it's the outside edge of the frame you want to be 999 so you should measure 999 on the zero mark of the Morso. Please wait for someone else to confirm this before cutting

Indeed, set the stop with the 0 (on the thingywotsit) aligned at the required size
