Choosing a Tapestry Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential, but we do recommend that beginners use a frame it will enable them to concentrate on stitching, and let the frame do the job of holding the canvas.
For Seaside 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".
Design Size
Printed canvas area: 4" x 4" (10cm x 10cm), canvas size 10" x 10" (25cm x 25cm)

Choosing a Frame
A tapestry frame is not essential, but is useful for beginners as they can concentrate on stitching without having to hold the canvas at the same time. 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 Seaside, 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.
