Robert Kemp Philp

1908.
To
Frame
Canvas.
After
herringboning
the
raw
edges
of
the
canvas,
sew
them,
by
the
thread,
to
the
webbing
of
the
frame,--that
is,
to
the
top
and
bottom.
Then
stretch
the
ends
till
the
canvas
is
extended
to
its
utmost
length,
put
in
the
pegs,
and
brace
the
sides
with
fine
twine.
If
the
canvas
is
too
long
for
the
frame,
and
any
part
has
to
be
rolled
over
the
end,
let
the
wood
be
first
covered
with
a
few
thicknesses
of
silver
paper.
1909.
Design
on
Cloth.
Sometimes,
to
save
the
trouble
of
grounding,
a
design
is
worked
on
cloth,
over
which
canvas
is
laid.
Whenever
this
is
the
case,
the
cloth
must
be
carefully
damped,
to
remove
the
gloss,
before
it
is
put
into
the
frame.
Then,
as
cloth
will
always
stretch
much
more
than
canvas,
it
must
be
cut
a
little
smaller
both
ways.
The
raw
edges
of
the
cloth
should
be
turned
in,
and
tacked
to
the
canvas
before
they
are
framed.
Some
people
withdraw
the
threads
of
canvas
after
the
work
is
done;
but
it
has
a
much
richer
effect
if
the
threads
of
canvas
are
cut
close
to
the
outer
stitches;
and
if
there
are
any
small
spaces
in
the
pattern,
where
the
ground
should
be
seen,
they
may
be
worked
in
wool
of
the
colour
of
the
ground.
1910.
Stretching
Work.
Should
a
piece
of
work
be
a
little
drawn
when
taken
out
of
the
frame,
damp
the
back
well
with
a
clean
sponge,
and
stretch
it
again
in
the
frame
in
the
opposite
direction.
Whenever
Berlin-work
is
done
on
any
solid
thick
material,
as
cloth,
velvet,
&c.,
a
needle
should
be
used
with
an
eye
sufficiently
large
to
form
a
passage
for
this
wool.
This
prevents
the
latter
from
being
crushed
and
impoverished
as
it
passes
through.
