It is actually making WANT to stretch canvas. Great edtucative video :)

[TheSwarez]

@MsVeetamine thanks for that - I am so glad it made sense!

[IrisLavy]

Very good instructions and demonstration, thank you so much!

[TheSwarez]

@IrisLavy Thankyou very much, glad it helped a little!

Thank you for the video! Extremely helpful - well explained, and demonstrated slow enough for everyone to get it! I just finished my frame, and I cannot be more proud of my "corners". I had another canvas done "professionally", and the corners have a 45 degree angle ( one fold I supposed). I would highly suggest they should watch this video too before charging any fee. Good job!

[TheSwarez]

@misona70 yay! Thankyou! I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for leaving such great feedback! :0)

Best gallery wrapping video on the web!

High praise for showing the corner folding so clearly. Most vids gloss over that step and of course it's the key to a decent looking gallery wrap. Nothing worse than corners that look like a war zone.

[TheSwarez]

@floml thanks bro! It's one job I hate but an unavoidable one!

[mamubach69]

Thank you so much! :-) Good luck to me! LOL!

[TheSwarez]

Cool! Glad it helped you out!

Great instructional video....I love how you showed the close up on the corners and demo twice. That was the hardest part for me.

[psychobudz]

I appreciate the tutorial and hope that mine goes as smoothly as yours.

[TheSwarez]

Thanks dude!

This is a great vid. I just watched one that was high-speed time-lapse and awful music ALL THE WAY THRU, and I nearly topped myself by the end. This is fab though.

[bigRoN18]

@psychodudu I believe I found the high-speed video first too... I'm building a video screen that will be hung like a large canvas in a frame and never done anything like this before. This video makes me feel much more comfortable about the process.
