Speaking of belts, Ridgewood Needlepoint just helped a customer design the International Flag Belt.

I have to admit I'd never heard of The Needlepoint Belt Book but it looks very interesting and useful for those who love designing their own belts.

Stretching

One Off Needlework talks about how they "stretch" canvases sent to them for finishing. (We call it blocking.) Personally I think stitch tension has a lot to do with whether a piece done all in basketweave needs blocking, whether it was worked on a frame or not. However, it's my impression that British needlepointers rarely use a frame, so that may be involved here, too.
