SERVICE
Needlepoint Framing
Needlepoint framing involves securing fabric artwork within a frame while maintaining its original shape and detail. Unlike paper or canvas, textiles can shift or stretch if not handled correctly.
At Gallagher’s Gallery and Framing, each piece is evaluated before framing to determine the best method for support and mounting. This ensures that the fabric remains stable and the design is presented accurately.
Why Needlepoint Framing Matters
Textile artwork is often delicate and can be affected by improper handling or mounting. Without the right techniques, fabric can become uneven, sag, or lose its structure over time.
Needlepoint framing is especially important for:
- Hand-stitched needlepoint pieces
- Embroidery and textile artwork
- Heirloom or sentimental items
- Decorative fabric designs
- Collectible textile pieces
Using professional framing methods helps maintain the integrity of the fabric while creating a finished piece that is suitable for display.
