We've already featured how to lace your work to go in a frame and this is quite similar.
Step 1
Using the outer edge of the smaller ring of your display hoop as a guide, mark and cut out a panel of felt for the rear of your work.
Centre your stitching in your chosen display hoop.
Using #8 pearl thread to match the colour of your fabric and running stitch, follow the shape of your hoop and draw it up, securing with a knot.
Step 2
Now crisscross another length of pearl thread, pulling the thread taut as you go.
Step 3
Spread a line of fabric glue around the edge of the piece of felt and apply to the rear of your work to both hide and protect it.
Step 4
Place the finished piece between a couple of heavy books to assist with the bonding process for a few hours.
