I have yet to try this, I have only ever chucked small ones in a frame, but will try pinning and/or lacing and fingers crossed I can figure it out!

The easiest way is to take to a framer. If your wanting to do it yourself, the best way is to use a piece of acid free foambroad and either sew or pin to the back. Here is a great site to go to, http://www.squidoodotcom/how-to- ... s-stitch-needlework
Just replace the word dot between squidoo and com with a period. Hope this helps.

I pin to foam board with stainless steel pins.  Sometimes Ill lace the back but thats rare;P

I take mine to a framer, but it seems if you want to do it yourself, lacing is the way to go

Yes, as others say, I have tried foam board and pin along the edge. It takes a time to get the fabric straight. It works well.
