Needlepoint Finishing for Cushions - Frames and Coasters

Memling Needlepoint Motif is a versatile needlepoint design which may be framed - finished as pillows - cushion inserts - coasters - a pin cushion - a small purse - or even -- a patch for your jeans !!

These three finished needlework designs - may be seen on display throughout the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum.

Needlepoint Finishing Instructions

Framing

Once the design is worked - block it perfectly square by steam ironing it on the reverse side. The beauty of any Needlework is only completely seen when it is - well blocked. If it is badly twisted - please consult a Professional Shop - as Needlework Finishing is an Art in itself.

Framing Needlepoint

For the Framed Memling Needlepoint Motif we chose a shadow box framing technique. The Finished design is carefully glued to a very thin wood board - completely hiding the raw edges back around the sides. Contact glue ( rubber cement ) is recommended - however it is important to inquire about the most appropriate solution with your local crafts shop as to their recommendations. The brands vary in each country. Both the needlework - and the board need to be cured and then joined together.

This stitched design - backed by the board - is then fitted with a small cube in the exact center of the back. The cube we used measures 2 cm. on all sides.

Finally the motif - is glued to the back of the shadow box and the result is - the most in vogue - framing for modern art which will show your needlework - uniquely as well as keeping it dust free. The box may be painted in the color of choice. We chose an off white.

Coasters

To create the Needlepoint Coasters - After blocking and carefully folding and ironing the edges under - glue your needlepoint to a 3-mm. thick cork slab precut to the exact size of the finished needlework. Once this Coaster - is completely dry ( preferably overnight ) - be sure to Scotch Guard it to make it water ( or wine - etc. ) proof.

Pillows

The Pillows are backed ( inserted into ) raw silk Tapestry fabric - to add that touch of elegance. The Memling Needlepoint Motif comes in three-color combinations - the Original Colors - Blue or Green are the choices we will show you within this section. Backing the same motif in different colors will make a lovely set of matching pillows. Pick up the white - black - forest and mustard ( seen above ) - these will combine nicely within any room of your home.

A striking design - Memling Motif Pillows may be combined in the same room as the other two designs shown within this section.

The resemblance to a tile makes this Needlepoint Design a very unusual conversation piece. Carefully selecting the Tapestry from the Original Painting - we developed the Motif Needlepoint Design for its historical value as well as its beauty. A 2000 year old Historical Design is now - a modern accent for any environment.

The needlepoint coasters are very popular - as are the many finishing solutions - we suggest within these Internet pages.
