I suggest checking the rules of the contest you are interested in entering. Some do not want the work mounted. They want to be able to see both sides of the work. Judges have to follow the rules in effect even if they don't like the rules. I think glue on a contest item would make a judge cringe, even when mounting is permitted. When I was judging, I never met up with glue so never had to deal with it. Alice in Oregon

I have only ever stitched lace to a fabric background, so am quite taken aback by this method, and am wondering if Show and Competition Judges would pass that method, - or would they disqualify the piece? Personally, I cannot see what is wrong with it, as the pieces will never be used, or removed from the setting, - so why not, -- but I wonder if it would be acceptable when up against other pieces for Judging. I would be interested in other peopleââ¬â¢s thought on it- especially if you are a Judge at Shows! Regards from Liz. L.
