Finishing Guidance · Sunglasses Straps

Sunglasses Straps are finished with bridle leather in a range of colors and black rubber grips.

Stitch Count

We ask that canvases sent in for sunglasses straps be no larger than 18 count canvas as the larger canvases are much too heavy to be used for this style of finishing.

Length

Canvases should be minimum 12 inches long. About 1” of the stitching on each end will be covered by leather so keep this in mind when stitching/designing your canvas.

Binding Stitch or Extra Rows?

Our finishing form will ask if your canvas has been given a binding stitch or if you've included extra rows. Some needlepointers prefer to apply their own binding stitch to their piece before submitting for finishing. We can accommodate either choice.

Extra Rows

Sunglasses strap canvases must be 18 rows tall without a binding stitch. This includes 2 extra rows of stitching above and below the design, otherwise, when we fold under 2 rows on the top and bottom of your canvas, you will lose part of your design. So, of the 18 rows of stitching, you have only 14 rows that may be used for your design.

Binding Stitch

Sunglasses strap canvases with a binding stitch must be 12 rows tall (stitch 12 rows and then add your binding stitch). So, of the 12 rows of stitching, you have 12 rows that may be used for your design.
