Choosing  a Tapestry Frame

A tapestry frame is not essential, but will help to prevent your work 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 Toy Box Christmas stocking, we recommend either a CF219 or a CF2112 frame for ease of working (an 18" one will be a bit of a squash). Choose one of the 24" frames if you  think you will stitch cushion sized projects in the future.

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