“Thank you so much Kelly and team. I am delighted with my Lockdown work! And they have been so beautifully transformed into cushions. The Roses one has taken pride of place on our bed. The birds one is off to my daughter’s new flat, and the dogs’ cushion is safely perched on the back of their favourite sofa!!”

Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential but does help to prevent your work from going out of shape and makes it easy to resume stitching the next day or after a break. We stock a good range of British made no-sew tapestry clip frames which only take a few minutes to assemble. As the canvas is attached by easy clips, the frames allow you to switch between projects if necessary.

For Cats and Dogs Christmas stocking, we recommend either a CF219 or a CF2112 frame for ease of working. Choose one of the 24" frames if you might be stitching cushion sized projects in the future.

See all our tapestry clip frames in our Frames and Accessories category.
