Default How Do You Frame Embroidered Pictures?

I plan to make several machine embroidered pictures for my grandchildren. What is the best way to frame these? The fabric is linen.

I go to the frame shop and have them use archival materials.

I have, and still do, a lot of cross-stitch pieces, and I use "press-on" boards, like the poster before me said, they have padded, and non padded, I always used the non padded, just my preference, you peel off the paper, it's very sticky, and smooth out you piece onto it, then frame as wanted. These are available at Joanns, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels.
