Batiks

Post by pramsay13 »

I have 2 batiks in to frame that look a bit tricky.
There is nothing spare around the edges to work with and one is not even close to square.
Any ideas for framing?

Machine sew calico (or other suitable fabric) extensions on and lace, or pin to foam board.

Hi Pramsey13,
I agree with RoboFramer they are the best methods.
In the future you may be interested in my Textile framing course Saturday 11th June.
http://www.framersequipment.co.uk/training_framing.htm
All the methods of textile/canvas and fabric materials are covered.
It's a fun hands on course.
If you need any other advise always happy to help you can always e-mail or phone or message/post
Kind regards
Mitreman :D
