Page 1     Page 2     Page 3     Tip of The Month DO NOT put anything in a frame without a mat or a liner.  Matting and liners were designed to keep art projects away from the covering glass. Over a period of time, photos and art projects can stick to the covering glass and doesn't come off. Stitchery projects that touch the covering glass can draw moisture and mold or mildew. Let us advise you on your questions. General News   Jerry A.
