[QUOTE="Poisonivy, post: 307542, member: 2417"]I have "saved" a lot of Victorian beadwork by mounting it on to old canvas of the same thread count and then replacing the missing beads with Victorian beads to match (I have a lot of those) However I don't think that's possible with your piece but you could stabilise it by mounting onto a firm backing fabric. You could then frame the decent part. The fringe in the 2nd pic could be reused on something else.[/QUOTE]
