A stapler is sufficient for framing. With this you can even mount it at home. The thonet fabric softens and stretches slightly when exposed to water, making it easy to handle. It is therefore advisable to soak it in cold water for half an hour before fixing, and then (before it dries) to staple it tightly to the wooden frame (on the inside). Do not fasten too tightly, as the material will return to its original size after drying and may tear along the fastenings.
