I use...

I'm not sure what they are called, but I have found them at Lowe's, etc. I do not know how your hardware store is set up, but in my local Lowe's in the hardware section, across the aisle from where they keep picture hanging "kits" are large shallow drawers with all kinds of metal gadgets.

Look for the section especially for hanging mirrors. These metal peices come in different depths, so measure how much your canvas sticks out past your frame, they will screw right into the frame and fit snuggly up against your stretcher bar.

These are the same metal pieces I have seen used by our local frame shop.

Sorry I don't have the technical name for you. If this doesn't make sense to you let me know and I will take a picture of them and post.
