Question from Mimifan, “My question is about finishing cross stitching. Leslie has mentioned sending her cross stitching out for professional framing. What does that entail? I guess I assumed Michael’s type stores would be able to handle this. Can you give an idea of cost? I’m a new cross stitcher and have no idea what to do with future cross stitching. Thanks!”
