Frame for embroidery decoration No. 1

The wooden casing frame, model OR-023, has outer dimensions of 26 x 34 centimeters (approximately 10.2 x 13.4 inches). It's ideal for framing embroidery, making any interior unique and original. Here's the instruction for framing embroidery in the casing from the "Shchepka" brand: Choose embroidery for framing in the casing. The casing has two rows of holes for different-sized works. Choose which size is a priority for you. Place the embroidery over the selected perimeter of holes on the casing and ensure that there is enough fabric to sew it to the casing through the holes. Trim the edges of the work, leaving a 1-2 cm allowance depending on how you plan to finish it. Option 1: Fold the edges of the embroidery inward so that they align with the chosen perimeter of holes and sew them with an invisible stitch. Option 2: Sew the embroidery to the casing through the holes using a regular or invisible stitch, without folding the edges. Finish the remaining edges as desired. Before sewing to the casing, secure the fabric and casing with clamps — one on each side. To prevent damage to the casing, place pieces of soft fabric between the clamp and the casing. Choose thread colors and thickness based on your decoration idea. The vertical casing frame is perfect for creatively framing not only cross-stitch or beadwork but also drawings, photographs, and collages. Its numerous intricate and carved details make the frame unique, resembling a real window casing of a Russian wooden house. You can further decorate the casing frame with additional means: apply varnish, paints, use beads, sequins, ribbons, embroidery thread, or tapes in decor. The wooden casing frame is like a window to ancient times when the Russian izba (traditional log house) was conceived as a separate world that needed protection, hence the casing also serves as a powerful talisman.
