Blocking usually entails pinning the fabric to a hard surface such as dense corkboard, stretching and pulling it back into shape in the process. A light coating with water from a spray bottle will help the process and help the canvas retain its corrected shape.

It’s not too difficult a process, but some people may find it tricky, or may not have the correct materials available to them. This is why Lucy Winter now offers a blocking service. Send us your finished canvas, and we’ll block and stretch it for you, and return it to you in its correct shape.

The cost for this service is from £10 per canvas depending on the level of distrotion, plus postage within the UK. For further details and for postage costs outside the UK, please contact us.

So you’ve completed your project and you’re looking for the best way to display your masterpiece! Why not have your piece professionally framed? We offer a bespoke framing service using techniques specifically developed for completed tapestries, cross stitch kits or other canvas work projects. Prices start from £20 plus p & p, and will obviously depend on the size of the piece to be framed and the type of frame and mount required. Contact us for more details and a quotation.

If you’re part way through a stitching project and find that it’s too tricky, or just too time consuming, to complete yourself, let us finish it for you. You’ll receive the completed piece back from us, and your friends and family needn’t know a thing! Obviously, costs will vary from kit to kit according to how much there is left to do.
