<p>[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 2164017, member: 13464"]Oh, by all means use them! I'm sure they would look lovely framed! I usually mount my lace on an acid free mat board... I like the variety of colors of suade board. I ask for the mat... and mount it myself. I lay the lace out on the board and pre-prick small holes (one hole IN an existing pin hole and one hole right next to it - although you could go in and out the same pin hole/ just need to make sure you go over some of the lace first). I tie it off on the back. In this manner, the lace isn't damaged. After I have it matted; I take it back to the framer for him to apply the glass and frame. You will have to show us your finished examples! </p><p>Leslie[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
