Back from the framer...

I'm excited to show this piece framed.... I am not 100% satisfied with this framer's work, the piece looks "uneven", I mean the backstitched borders don't look straight. I am not sure if it could have looked better... I don't think these people look at it with so much detail... and maybe I am the only one who sees it :) Anyway, I love the way it looks framed and I think I chose the right one for that design.
ADDENDUM: The picture below really doesn't show it well. Click on it to see it enlarged.
Now, in the evening, in artificial light it looks splendid, the frame glitters beautifully :)
ADDENDUM2: The problem as I see it is that the framer stretched this delicate piece so that the tiny backstitches moved to the left, right, became distorted. But maybe it couldn't have been done better, I don't know.
