FAQs
What is the exact frame size?
The frame measures 6 x 8cm, which is approximately 2.4 x 3.2 inches.
Can I use this for non-embroidery items?
Yes, it is also suitable for small photographs, pressed flowers, or miniature lace samples.
How do I mount my embroidery?
Center your finished work on the backing board, pull the edges taut, and secure them on the back before inserting the board into the frame.
Is the gold finish prone to scratching?
Like many decorative finishes, it can scratch if handled with sharp objects; treat it with care during the mounting process.
Is this frame suitable for heavy canvas?
This frame is intended for needlecraft fabric; heavy canvas may be too thick for the frame's profile.
Troubleshooting
Fabric slipping inside the frame
Ensure the tension on the back is even and use archival-safe double-sided tape or pins to hold the fabric edges firmly to the backing board.
Smudges or marks on the gold finish
Gently wipe the surface with a dry, microfiber cloth to remove oils or dust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your needlecraft in the frame, gently remove the backing, position your fabric so the design is centered, and secure the edges firmly. Use a mild adhesive or tension backing to keep the fabric taut. This frame is compatible with most standard embroidery cottons and linens, provided they are cut to fit the frame's internal housing. To care for your frame, use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust the gold surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can strip the metallic finish. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture accumulation behind the frame backing.
