“Thank you for making such a beautiful job of making up my Peacock Star cushion. All the hard work stitching it was worth it to see such a fabulous result. It now has pride of place in my sitting room.”

Choosing a Tapestry Frame

Do I need a frame? We stock a great range of British-made no-sew tapestry clip frames which are easy to assemble. Once the four sides are put together, attach your canvas in the grooves at the top and bottom using the sturdy clips provided.

For our Little Sweethearts starter kit, we recommend a 12" wide for frame for children (code CF129). 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. Confused? Contact us and we can help.

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.
