How do I pack needlework on stretcher bars to travel?
(Paraphrased from Carole Lake) Cut a piece of foam core (or cardboard or mat board or something stiff) to fit inside the interior of the stretcher bars. Cut two more pieces to the size of the outside of the stretcher bars. Cover the actual stitchery with a clean white handkerchief, soft handtowel, something like that. Put the inside piece of foam core inside the stretcher bars to brace the canvas. Make a “sandwich” out of the larger pieces. Put rubber bands around or tie with string. Voila!
