Do you frame with or without glass?

for me it depends on the project. but most of the times i frame with glass to protect the stitching.
plus it makes it nice and flat.

Yeah, I've always framed it with glass as well. I'm too messy and lazy of a person to frame something without glass. I can imagine it getting dusty pretty quickly and it won't wipe off so easily!

I've often used a mat with my frame but to me, that depends on the look. With a couple of stitchings, I didn't and I didn't find it really smooched too much.
