Finally got a clip frame to stretch my long stitch tapestry Christmas present, and loaded it on, I've never had a clip frame before as years ago they were different - took me a while to sort out how to do it as there wasn't a lot of spare canvas to roll around the bar - had to go sideways but that doesn't matter. I've made a small start and will do more at the WI. Knit, Stitch and Yarn group.
Back Tomorrow

If your canvas is too small to have sufficient spare to roll round firmly, try tacking strips of scrap fabric to the two edges to make it bigger, then removing them afterwards.
ReplyDeleteGood plan if needed
DeleteI don't think I have ever used a clip frame. Is it good? xx
ReplyDeleteEasier than the old ones which required attaching by sewing
DeleteIt's lovely to have a new project. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGoing to take a while to do - lots of small areas to stitch
DeleteWell done on betting organised for your stitching. Catriona
ReplyDeleteBeen years since I did tapestry - good for a change
DeleteHaving talked myself out of it once I've decided that as today is another washout weather wise I'm going to make a small batch of lavender body butter this afternoon - a first for me - looking forward to seeing your finished stitching x

Hope so
DeleteLooks like a fun project! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI hope I will
DeleteNice job completed with the new frame. Your WI gatherings always seem very enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to sit and craft with coffee and cake and friendly people
DeleteI've made my own embroidery frames from pvc piping and connectors. Very useful to have a frame when a hoop isn't convenient.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that sounds very clever.
DeleteI look forward to seeing the finished article.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new project, and I am looking forward to seeing it finished.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm looking forward to seeing your project progress. I really like Bothy Threads designs. I've got a couple of cross stitch ones but I haven't done the tapestry style ones before.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good way to start the New Year I am about to start one I received as a gift with chickens! I will love seeing yours as it grows.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it will make things a lot easier to handle.
