  • Spacer Frame

    Quilling crushed under flat glass is ruined — spacers mandatory.

  • Outline First

    Interior fill follows outline — outline must be secure before fill.

  • Curve Support

    Tight serif curves need extra glue points.

Safety Notes

  • Framed glass is sharp — wear gloves when handling.
  • PVA fumes minimal but work ventilated for long sessions.
