Can this be safely 'stretched' and pinned like the work I do with D.M.C. cotton on Aida? I've worked so long on this one particular piece...

After 9/11, I mentioned to Adopted Big Brother that a group was stitching ArtVenture's "Fireman's Prayer" for each of the fallen NYFD. When he saw the companion piece (Fireman's Wife), he asked me to make 2 FP and 1 FW. (Promptly got sidetracked with clothes for fireman's baby.....) Well, Mom...
