Any Ideas?
I just joined this group hoping to get an answer I've been searching for.
Forgive me if this has already come up and been answered once before. Does anyone know of any way to clean framed needlework without taking it out of the frame? Most all of the needlework I've had given to me or I have done myself does not have glass and they have yellowed over the years. I would be grateful for any suggestions!! |

Any Ideas?
I had several of my older pieces cleaned and reframed at my framers. And
this time I added glass. The cost was minimal . It was well worth it. I took over 2 or 3 at a time. When I picked those up, I took a few more. That way my walls were never bare and I could pay for just a few at a time. I am glad I did it. jill in nj "Lisa" wrote in message news:YpSdnWhiJv0Hv43bnZ2dnUVZ_hSdnZ2d@metrocastcab levision.com...

I am glad I did it. jill in nj Jumping in, if the needlework was framed more than 10 years ago - especially if it's more like 20 - it should be taken out, cleaned, re-stretched or re-blocked. You can always try to vacuum the pieces with a piece of old hose over the nozzle. That helps a bit. It's one of those things we all kind of forget about. But, it's good for the life of the piece to bring it to your trusted needlework framer and let them take it out, do the cleaning, and restretch. Also, any under glass can have both sides of the glass cleaned. Sometimes the backing needs to be replaced - you'd be amazed at some of the things we've seen when I was working at the LNS/framer. And new dust covers go on the back. It's just healthy for the pieces, and will help their life, and they look so much better. Just some thoughts.

MM LOL - I do mean hose as in stockings or pantyhose. Old language habit of referring to stockings, etc as "hose" rather than the full term. But, you got the drift. Thanks for the clarificaton.

If you are not ready to have glass put in the frame yet, you could try
pulling a piece of net or nylon stocking over the whole thing and doing a very light vaccum on the surface of the net.... me news:YpSdnWhiJv0Hv43bnZ2dnUVZ_hSdnZ2d@metrocastcab levision.com...
