Choosing a Tapestry Frame
Do I need a frame? A tapestry frame is not essential but using one will help to keep your work in shape. Using a frame also makes it easy to resume stitching the following day or after a break. Young stitchers may find it easier to focus on and enjoy their tapestry if they don’t have to physically hold on to the canvas as they stitch.
We stock a good range of British-made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are easy to assemble. Once the four sides are put together, simply attach your canvas in the grooves at the top and bottom using the sturdy clips provided.
For Duck Pond starter kit, we recommend a CF129 tapestry frame. Choose one of the larger frames (CF189, CF219 or CF249), ie one with code ending in '9' if you intend to stitch larger projects in the future. These will allow you to attach a canvas wider than 12". See all our frames together in our Frames and Accessories category.

Choosing a Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential, but is particularly useful for beginners as it leaves both hands free for stitching. 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 clips, the frames allow you to switch between projects if necessary.
For Duck Pond, we recommend a CF129 frame but choose one of the larger frames with code ending in ‘9’ if you think you will stitch larger projects in the future.
