I use this to back all of my unframed pieces - this helps it keep shape, covers up any messy stitching, and has a lovely tactile quality to it. Plus it is self adhesive so it goes on and stays!

Absolutely everything I frame is first placed on one of these boards! The fabric sticks nicely and you can pull it up and reset if you make a mistake. And they are already cut to size so I don’t have to do it!
