Canvas/Needlepoint Stretching

When you want it stretched right.

There is nothing worse than a crooked needlepoint or loose canvas. That won’t happen in our workshop. We have stretched hundreds of fabric and canvas artworks, and we pride ourselves on getting them just right! You can count on straight lines and perfect corners. Plus, just like all our frames, we build stretcher frames in-house to ensure a perfect stretch, every time.

Gallery Wrap vs. Traditional Stretch

With traditionally stretched canvases, the fabric is wrapped around shallow stretcher bars (plain wood frame) and secured to the sides. The edges are unpainted, and staples are visible. The canvas is usually intended to be framed before presentation. The shallow depth ensures the canvas can fit inside normal frames.

With a gallery wrap, the fabric is wrapped all the way around the edges and secured to the backside of the stretcher bars. Edges are painted and finished; no mounting methods or staples are visible.

I have lived next to Ken’s my entire life so it only felt right to get my college diploma framed there and I could not have had a better experience. Cevin was incredibly helpful in creating my dream diploma frame. They have an insane collection of mats and frames and the colors the chose for my diploma looked elegant and stunning. I expected to have it in a couple weeks, I got it back in 3 days! Robert helped me in wrapping it and we had a great conversation. Incredible service, amazing people, good prices. I am so grateful and happy I chose Ken’s. -Rylie H.
