Here's a YouTube video that shows you how to do it. This is a very big 
canvas and the video is in accelerated motion.

Here's another YouTube video that is 10 minutes long (gigantic by youtube 
standards) and that shows it being done with an inkjet ("giclee") print, 
starting with the application of the overgloss. This guy makes his own 
stretchers, which is rather macho.

Here's another long one (also 10 minutes) that is probably the best one I've 
found. It's a video of Michael Bell teaching a room full of people how to 
stretch a canvas.

Note that when you print on canvas you need to leave 2-inch bleeds for the 
stretcher.
