My wife cross stitches, which also has a niche group of fanatics the same as woodworking. I was raised simply. When I began framing her stitching I used plain and simple glass, double strength. Then she began showing pieces at the fair and a judge commented that she should be using non-glare glass so we started doing that. Now her stitching friends that pay hundreds of dollars to frame a piece are telling her she should be using museum quality archival glass. This sounds a little like bull manure to me, but I am looking into it. As near as I can tell the difference is a UV inhibitor coating on the glass. You can get 99% UV ray inhibitors. A little cheaper I guess is 90% inhibitor. This does not say whether it would be non-glare glass. What is your opinion of this mess? The pic is an example of her work; this piece with the framing I did won a first place judges choice award out of the entire category that is called "Home Arts."
