Q1 : I have a painting that I want to get stretched, which stretcher bar should I choose? For most paintings, the artist will leave extra white canvas on the edge for stretching. You will need to measure the width of this white border to see how much space you have available. This measurement should be approximately 3/4” more than the depth of the stretcher. For example, if your measurement is 2.25” for each side then we would recommend a 1.5” gallery wrap for your painting.
If there is no white border around your painting then the painter probably wanted to image to wrap all the way around. In this case, the minimum size for stretching will be a 3/4" deep gallery wrap. The larger the wrap size the smaller the final product will be.
