Needlepoint
Stitched canvases can be presented with spacing, matting, and frame depth chosen around the thickness and edge condition of the piece.
Needlepoint & Embroidery Framing
Protect the handwork. Keep the texture alive.
Custom framing for needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, samplers, and heirloom textiles, designed around the craft and condition of the piece.
The short answer
Needlepoint & Embroidery Framing in Greenwood Village and Denver
Masten frames needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, samplers, and other textiles in Greenwood Village. Because stitched pieces have texture, thickness, and tension, the frame depth, spacing, support, matting, and glazing should be chosen around the specific textile.
What we can work with
Start with the piece, not a preset package.
Embroidery
Hand embroidery benefits from framing that respects the texture, raised stitches, and visual character of the textile.
Cross-stitch & samplers
Traditional and contemporary stitched pieces can be framed in a way that feels current while preserving the craft.
Heirloom textiles
Family textiles, decorative cloth, and hand-worked pieces can be considered for display when their condition allows.
Why custom matters
The object decides the depth, support, materials, and proportion.
Bring the piece into the Greenwood Village studio and we can look at scale, condition, materials, depth, placement, and preservation needs together.
How it works
A clear path from piece to finished frame.
Assess the textile
We look at the weave, edges, thickness, condition, orientation, and whether the piece needs visible breathing room.
Plan the presentation
Frame, matting, spacing, and background materials are selected to support the textile without flattening its character.
Check preservation needs
Older or meaningful pieces may benefit from conservation-focused materials and careful support.
Finish around the craft
The frame should support the work visually without competing with the stitching itself.
Needlepoint & Embroidery Framing Questions
Questions people usually ask before bringing the piece in.
Clear answers first, then we can look at the actual object and build the framing around it.
01Where can I frame needlepoint in Denver?
Masten Fine Framing in Greenwood Village works with needlepoint, embroidery, cross-stitch, samplers, and other textiles for clients across the Denver area.
02Can embroidery be framed behind glass?
Yes, depending on the piece. The spacing, glazing, and depth should be selected so the textile is presented safely and the texture remains visible.
03Can you frame an old family sampler?
Often, yes. Condition matters, so older textiles should be looked at in person before deciding on mounting, spacing, or conservation materials.
04Should needlepoint be stretched before framing?
The appropriate support depends on the textile, condition, weave, and edge treatment. The goal is to present the piece evenly without creating unnecessary stress.
05Can textile framing look modern?
Absolutely. Frame profile, matting, spacing, and finish can make traditional needlework feel quiet, contemporary, or architectural.
