Six Inch Fiber Art Gallery Wrapped on Stretcher Bars |
Yesterday I posted a note about using a Craftsman Band Clamp to square up stretcher bars. Here are two examples of how fiber art can be gallery wrapped onto the 1" x 2" stretcher bars. I cut 4" strips of black fabric, folded the strips in half, and ironed the strips for a sharp mid-line crease. I then stitched the strips with a 1/4" seam as facing to the 6 1/2" square fiber art. Finally, I mounted the art to the stretcher bars by pulling the facing to the back side and stapling it securely. Waalaa--gallery wrapped fiber art ready for hanging.
As a reminder, here is a picture of the Craftsman Band Clamp that made this mounting project a quick and accurately squared one.

Great post, Linda! When I wrap fabric around a frame, the fabric bunches in the corners. I will definitely try this technique. Thanks for sharing!
