  1. Measure your artwork edge to edge. We allow for the bit the mount or frame covers, so there's nothing to add or take off. Measuring guide

  3. A mount is the card border around your picture. It overlaps your artwork by 2mm each side to hold it in place.

    · up to 5 in a £3.99 pack

Show off your stitching

A finished cross stitch or embroidery takes a long time to make, and it deserves a frame that fits. Ready-made frames rarely match the size of a stitched piece, so we make cross stitch frames and mounts to the size you need, to the millimetre.

Measuring your cross stitch

  • Decide how much of the fabric you want to show around the stitching.
  • Measure that area and enter it in the designer above.
  • If you're adding a mount, the measurement is the window you want to see through the mount.

Our measuring guide has more detail. If you're unsure how to prepare your piece, call us on 01937 530 623 before you order.

Mounts and frames for needlework

  • Mounts: over 40 colours, single or double, so you can pick out a thread colour from the design.
  • Frames: over 60 mouldings, from slim modern profiles to traditional wood finishes.
  • Glazing: standard glass, Premium Art Glass, non-reflective glass or styrene. See our glass types guide.

Every frame is made by hand in our workshop in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. UK delivery is free and included in the price.

Questions people ask

What size should I enter for my cross stitch?

Yes, we have over 40 mount colours, and you can add a double mount to show two colours.

Can you advise on preparing my embroidery?

Call us on 01937 530 623 before you order and we'll talk it through.

    Martin WestVerifiedMade to Measure Frame

  • First order but not my last

    Ordered a brushed silver A4 frame for a beautiful print given to me by my sister. Delivery was very quick and the packaging was beyond what I expected which meant the frame arrived in perfect condition. Would highly recommend 😊

  • Will struggle to find a better buying experience. Needed the frame to arrive on Friday, called up midday on Wednesday to ask if I place the order that it will arrive on time. I spoke with the most lovely woman who said that she’ll do her best to make the frame that day and hopefully get it shipped out the same day. She did exactly that, the frame arrive on the Thursday and it is beautiful. Thank you so much, you now have a customer for life.

  • Very quick service and great frame!

    My made to measure frame was sent extremely quickly and fits perfectly! Very pleased with the service. Very well packaged although i felt guilty how much packaging there was for one frame so i will be collecting from the shop next time when i can drive again (after injury) many thanks!
