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!

51302I 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!

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

This is perfect timing for me! I just finished a gift of embroidery & was ready to put it in the frame. Thanks for posting the video. It is total genius!

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
4315I 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?
