How do I finish a filet crochet piece
Do I sew it to a piece of cloth? Frame it? Wash it and block it? Help?

What do you want to do with it? You certainly could frame it.

Re: How do I finish a filet crochet piece
Did you must make a block say 6x6 or 12x12 inches? You could sew it to material and make a pillow case for an accent pillow.
If it is larger, doily or table runner (depending on yarn/thread used) You can make a shawl out of a filet pattern. I would need more information to make further suggestions. |

6"x12", so not a common frame size.

It'd be nice if you could pull me into town.

Re: How do I finish a filet crochet piece
Yes, it would My favorite way to block thread crocheted items is the spray it with starch and shape it with an iron, then leave it to dry.

Re: How do I finish a filet crochet piece
I'm going to buy a canvas, 9"x12" and attach it to the canvas. I may draw flowers or something on the blank space. What do you think?
