lacing needlework

Many people find lacing the back of needlework essential to keep the stitching taut when framed. But finding good information on how to do it has always been a struggle for me.

This outstanding lavishly illustrated lacing tutorial from Plays with Needles shows you how to lace step-by-step. Although she is lacing fabric, the process is the same for needlepoint.

Thanks to Denise at Craft Gossip for pointing this out.

Lacing your needlepoint over a board so that it stays taut and straight is the best way to finish needlework of all kinds for framing.

But it isn’t always the easiest thing to learn. Thanks to Denise at Craft Gossip, I found a lavishly illustrated tutorial on how to do this at the blog June at Noon.

Although the tutorial is illustrated with embroidery on fabric, the process is the same for needlepoint.

Great stuff!
