Aye, £12 (10+VAT) - I use Sawtech Ireland, not sure if they cover dublin though but they have reps on the road, might be worth a call

Re: What do you do if ....

I take it they are not coming back for the cross stitch. :giggle: 'snot funny :oops: well, maybe it is - they're getting it back (unframed) - I've had to undo the whole thing.

What do you do if ....

....someone leaves in something to be framed - a crossstitch thing, it's for someones birthday (surprise gift sorta thing), you're told to do it nice and money isn't a problem. All good, you get some nice moulding, double mount with spacer, you lace the fabric etc etc - all the usual. Just finishing...
